Talk me through how you would go about negotiating something?

Firstly, I would prepare as understanding the other party’s points fully is critical

Secondly, I would pre-determine what I can afford to give away, know my bottom line

Focus on the bigger picture, don’t get stuck on one item

Try to negotiate a win/win situation

Never accept the first offer

Finally, I would negotiate the small deals before the big ones

7

How would you prepare for a negotiation?

I will always familiarise myself before the negotiation with what is being negotiated

This will allow me to better understand my own argument, help me to pre-empt their argument/responses and allow me to better portray my point

What is communication?

The means by which information or instructions are exchanged

Successful communication occurs when the received meaning is the same as the transmitted meaning

9

Why is communication important?

Poor communication can lead to misunderstood requirements, unclear goals, alienation of stakeholders, ineffective plans and many other factors that will cause a project, programme or portfolio to fail

How communication is executed affects understanding and feelings, both of which impact the meaning received

Must be tailored to convey the communicator’s meaning as accurately as possible to the target audience. This is why projects, programmes and portfolios have a communication management plan that spells out what needs to be communicated: why, how, when and to whom
