Learning to negotiate in a scientifical and practical way

Director Prof. Dr. Uta Herbst

Director Prof. Dr. Markus Voeth

At the Negotiation Academy Potsdam, our philosophy is that negotiators can achieve better negotiation results by using the latest scientific methods.

Therefore, we have developed a holistic, interdisciplinary methodological approach to negotiation, which we have been using in combination with our best practice insights for many years in all training and Coaching & Consulting activities.

We firmly believe that we can help companies achieve better results not only in the 5 percent most difficult negotiations, but in all negotiations. We know that this is possible regardless of hierarchy level, function, or industry. This is true for individual negotiators as well as for entire organizations.

Because our team has been individually taught by us and because we have a long-standing working connection with you, all of our experienced consultants, trainers, and coaches follow this attitude 100 percent in their projects with you.

The NAP Methodology is also the right way to your negotiation success!
