Practice

Digital, plus a live session on Blended

An AI simulation asks you to negotiate an outcome with a counterpart whose Worldprism profile contrasts with yours, adapting through the opening, concession and closing phases, with detailed feedback at the end.

On Blended, this is also where your chosen live session sits. The three options are below.

In real work, with Carla on hand

Apply Worldprism-adapted negotiation and influence strategies in real situations
Use Carla for a pre-negotiation cultural briefing on your counterpart's likely style
