Join us for an exclusive negotiations workshop featuring our brand-new serious board-game Pactopolis: Where Victory Meets Sustainability

The workshop will be facilitated by experts on gamification and negotiation.

About the workshop

• A customized hands-on GAMIFIED experience at NEGOTIATIONS where 4 industry sectors seek to grow, develop a land and maximize profits - but the winner will be the one who can negotiate and balance in-game stakeholder needs and sustainability. Will you just win, or will you win smart?
• Different from standard case-based negotiation simulations – much shorter reading, more action and interaction.
• Integration with latest, evidence-based negotiations theory in the post-game debrief unpacks the in-game experience.
