  • etc.

The partner you will be negotiating with, shall be announced later on.

Goal

Through negotiating your main goal is to keep your VP as close to planned as possible and stay within the budget.Keep the interest of all stakeholders in mind, and think of the impact of the negotiations in the long term.

Task, deliverable

The negotiation is made tougher by the time window. You only have a limited time window to reach the deal. If the deal is not reached within the given time, the team loses some valuable points. Use materials and resources on the basic structures and steps for negotiating. You need to prepare 'a structure' before going into the negotiations, like:

  1. Goals
  2. Summary of how you got “there” (to the negotiations)
  3. Risks
  4. Questions
  5. Alternatives
  6. Influencers

And you will have to do the negotiations for real.

Assessed elements

  • Has the structure been prepared correctly?
  • Does the method match our hotels strategy?
  • Did the negotiations go well?
  • Are all the sources accounted for?
