Collaborative Negotiating

About this Workshop

The challenge for Australia’s public sector is how to optimise the use of scarce resources to maximise benefits for our communities. This program offers a specialist approach in using collaboration within the public sector. The dynamics and haggling of ‘us versus them’ can feel pressured and mostly results in sub-optimal outcomes for all parties. Instead, learn the definition and process of collaboration along with practicing how to generate agreements that produce higher quality benefits for all.
