Method

The Academy of Purchasing Negotiations sessions are based on the method of teaching through experience, i.e., experiential learning. Each point of the program is carried out through tasks/games performed by the participants, which are also recorded and analyzed in real-time. This approach ensures full participant engagement, the effectiveness of the training process, and allows for the provision of individual feedback and suggestions on how to improve during the training.

Participants receive a set of tools for preparing and conducting negotiations in the form of a Negotiation Toolbox.

Participants gain skills that enable them to negotiate in support of the company’s procurement strategy and tailored to business relationships with contractors. They are equipped with knowledge, skills, and tools that allow them to effectively prepare and negotiate in both domestic and international environments.

The program is delivered in both Polish and English.
