About the event:
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this session is organized around the rule of 3: Three negotiation challenges posed by the pandemic; three relevant negotiation principles; and three relevant change management models. This session will introduce new thoughts on the intersection of negotiation and change management principles, while seeking to make a difference in our thinking about societal responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
