Programme content
Key topics:
How you learn
Negotiation is an intensive, five-day learning experience that expertly integrates concepts and the latest thinking on negotiation with hands-on, practical group exercises, simulations and direct feedback from faculty and peers so that you embed knowledge and translate theory into real practice as you learn. The programme convenes practitioners from all over the world and a range of backgrounds, industries and expertise at the LSE campus in central London.
To sustain your continuous improvement as a negotiator, you will also complete a personal development plan at the end of the programme, with personalised feedback and input from faculty. Here you will self-assess your own style, strengths and weaknesses, and build a concrete road map to continue developing your skills. This is a unique and important opportunity for you to synthesise the feedback you have received over the course of the programme, and apply what you have learned in a real-world context. Your plan will be carefully analysed by faculty and will benefit from individual feedback and guidance.

"The negotiation simulations themselves were the core of the experience. I was able to apply the learned tactics and strategies in a highly sophisticated group. The participants came from all sorts of backgrounds, professions and countries, which made the negotiation simulations even more interesting."
