About our organisation
The aim of our organization is to improve our members’ skills concerning negotiation, effective communication and to promote those skills among students. In order to fulfill this goal we carry out various projects as well as organise lectures, delivered by professionals and special guests.
Main projects
The Warsaw Negotiation Round
An international negotiation tournament for the best business and law high schools in the world. Negotiation rounds are held in the most prestigious places of Warsaw: The Senate, Warsaw Stock of Exchange or Lazienki Palace and Warsaw School of Economics. 12 teams negotiate challenging business case studies and are evaluated by international experts. WNR 2013 has been awarded as “Project of the year” by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland
Student’s Negotiation Tournament
A nationwide student negotiation competition organized in cooperation with 4 other student associations from Warsaw, Cracow, Wroclaw and Poznan. The competition consists of a qualifying round held in December and a grand final (March). 48 teams, 146 participants, 8 negotiation games and case studies - 1 champion team.
„Your Future” Conference
Several lectures and training courses concerning the area of professional career development, motivation as well as leadership for about 500 participants.
„The Negotiator” Conference
Interesting lectures and workshops on negotiation and communication delivered by professionals for students willing to improve their skills.
„The Deal”
Business contracts, relations and top negotiations – this is what the conference is about. There are also several case study trainings carried out by our corporate partners.
Negotiation books
We have already published 5 books covering negotiation scenarios and analysis. Two others are in progress. Members of SSA Negotiator write scenarios and case studies for the purposes of negotiation tournaments, training courses or for commercial usage.
Training sessions
Negotiations are an art which takes time to develop. Through the experience of the best negotiators we meet and our approach of constant research of the most effective ways to convey knowledge, we learnt that the best practices leading to an outstanding performance are based on experiential teaching. Apart from transferring knowledge through short lectures we create an environment where people can step into a role of a negotiator and experience things like responsibility, time pressure, problem solving, conflict resolution, rhetoric, body language, pre and post negotiation analysis and so on. Therefore, our workshops are organized to engage participants into solving cases and group exercises as much as possible.
We believe that it is most successful to organize a series of workshops rather than a sole one; this way a continuance of skill development can be substantiated.
