The aim To give staff at all levels the skills to achieve an equitable outcome to any negotiation. About the programme Wherever two people get together to do a deal, there's the possibility that at least one will end up feeling cheated, angry or resentful, even though both set out believing that they could achieve a solution that would benefit each of them. The programme plots the course of a negotiation from first meeting to successful conclusion, using the analogy of the developing relationship of two people. In the case of marriage, the aim is not for either side to win but to reach a mutually beneficial arrangement. Stage by stage the main characters negotiate their way to the altar in scenes that illustrate the training points defined by the presenter. The medium of video is unbeatable for demonstrating the various techniques and body language that can be employed and how emotional behaviour leads to totally unproductive rows. There are also textbook demonstrations of how to deal with threats and ultimatums and to overcome deadlocks.
