Based on research and conferences conducted by the Harvard Negotiation Project, this webcast will cover techniques and tactics of principled negotiation, illustrating how to achieve great results while being decent and fair with colleagues or health authorities.

It employs no tricks or posturing; negotiation is channeled into a problem-solving conversation. 

Being a skilled negotiator is particularly important for regulatory professionals, interacting with a wide variety of teams, divisions, health authorities, etc – all with different objectives and concerns.
