Moving Forward When a Negotiation is Stuck 6:22

for 8 dage siden6:22

6:22

In this episode, Ricardo discusses how to handle stalled negotiations, using the U.S.–China trade tensions as a case study. He highlights that project managers often face deadlocks not due to unsolvable problems, but due to repeated arguments. Instead of pushing harder, Ricardo suggests pausing, reframing the issue, and focusing on interests rather than positions. Key tactics include identifying hidden constraints, involving a neutral party, breaking negotiations into smaller parts, and revisiting the BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement). Ultimately, success in negotiation lies in rebuilding trust, finding common ground, and fostering collaboration, not in winning, but in moving forward. Listen to the podcast to learn more!…

Recognizing when support is lost allows for adjustments before the project collapses. Developing alternative options is crucial for avoiding professional damage. Remaining adaptable and alert to early warning signs is essential, especially in volatile environments. Blindly pursuing a failing project is destructive and unsustainable.

Why Project Sponsorship is One of The TOP Reasons for Project Failure 5:05

for 10 weeks siden5:05

5:05

In this podcast, Ricardo discusses how many project failures are due not to technical issues, budgets, or deadlines but to weak project sponsorship. A senior sponsor is not enough if they are disengaged or unaware of the project’s progress. Sponsors are crucial to solving complex problems and providing executive support. Changes in sponsorship often introduce new risks, as new sponsors bring different priorities and behaviors. To mitigate these risks, Ricardo advises tracking sponsor engagement, identifying early warning signs, and delivering projects in smaller, faster phases to reduce volatility. He discusses the importance of proactive risk management and adaptability in such situations. Tune in to the podcast to learn more!…
