CATA WIT TORONTO: Negotiating: How to get to "yes" on complex issues
January 23, 2007


Ever wonder how it is that some people can create consensus on contentious issues? Or how they can create a solution that seems to address everyone’s key needs? Join us for an insightful look at negotiating strategies and tactics with Stacey Allerton Firth, Vice President of Human Resources, Ford Canada, who spearheaded successful national negotiations with the Canadian Auto Workers. Stacey was also recently named one of Canada's Most Powerful Women by the Women's Executive Network.

This event would be of interest to those in technology, science and business.
