Negotiation skills: strategies and tactics

led by Daniels Pavļuts,
MPA (Harvard Kennedy School)
No matter what business we are in we all are in negotiation business. We negotiate on a daily, in fact hourly basis to advance our businesses, to satisfy our interests and get something from others that we do not otherwise have. We all know it is not easy. And it is getting harder. Our dealmaking becomes more challenging with increasing complexity and uncertainty of our business environment. Internationalization of our business models is increasing and competition along with it. We are often faced with business partners that employ negotiation style and tactics that we are not familiar or comfortable with. The good news? Negotiation is an interpersonal skillset and can therefore be learned and improved.

Crisis Management in Business

Led by: Ojārs Stūre,
Crisis Management Expert, MBA
Even the best-managed company can face a crisis. Management performance is often judged not by whether a company faces a crisis, but by how successfully it overcomes it. A crisis often becomes a turning point in a leader’s career — it can open the path to further growth or require seeking new professional directions.
The ability to manage and effectively resolve crisis situations is one of the most essential competencies for both leaders and their teams. It is important to consistently develop these skills to ensure the company’s long-term resilience and the leader’s professional reputation.
