“In today’s business the ability to create and work in team is necessary, but to be in a team it is not enough only to have a common target. You need to share the same tools, have the same rhythm and speak the same ‘language’. My colleagues and I followed Aalto EE’s Negotiation Skills program where we learned the essential elements through real life case simulations. The program helped us to better understand how to put negotiation strategies into practice, and we were able to implement our learning immediately we returned to our company whilst preparing for a negotiation with one of our clients. We were thrilled to discover that we had greatly improved our dynamics of negotiation; we not only achieved a better result than we had in the past, but also walked out satisfied to have been able to apply what we learned in the Negotiation Skills Program." - Alessandro Catani, General Manager, Colorobbia Polska Sp. z o.o.
