Cooperation, competition and negotiation intelligence – how to become a negotiation champion?

This is an engaging and interactive workshop designed to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics surrounding cooperation, competition, and negotiation.

The seminar combines theoretical insights with practical exercises and simulations, to provide participants with hands-on experience. With a focus on strategies for successful outcomes, this workshop aims to empower individuals to become negotiation champions by enhancing their negotiation intelligence. Participants will leave with an improved awareness of their negotiation styles, a toolkit of effective strategies, and the confidence to navigate diverse negotiation scenarios successfully.

MuBabao Innovation Workshop

The MuBaBaOⓇ (https://mubabao.pl/) is a Visual-Storytelling Learning approach from MuBaBaOⓇ Creative Thinking Blocks. It is an immersive and multidimensional method aimed at fostering creative thinking, spatial intelligence, and effective communication within a group context. It engages participants in a dynamic and multi-layered exercise using wooden blocks (like blocks of Lego but made from wood) of different shapes and sizes. These blocks can be joined in different ways to create different types of objects and represent the “Chaos in a Harmonious Wooden Box”.  This chaotic arrangement symbolizes the unpredictability and complexity of real-life scenarios, drawing parallels to the concepts of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) (Lawrence, 2013) and BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible) (de Godoy & Filho, 2021) environments.

The primary goal of this exercise is to find harmony within the apparent chaos of the wooden blocks. Participants are tasked with creatively connecting the blocks and creating something out of them that could be part of a solution to a given problem. The participants may feel disoriented and perplexed by the chaotic arrangement of the blocks. This initial confusion mirrors the initial challenges people face when dealing with complex, unpredictable situations. As participants persist with the task, their imagination takes center stage as a guiding force.
