Verhandeln in Zeiten von AI — cover
01Two perspectives

What holds.
What AI changes.

The book sets the negotiating practice of 2024 against the perspective of the AI age. Every chapter asks which principles carry and which tactics have to be reassessed.

Case examples, reflection questions and a critical reading connect the ideas to real situations.

02The content

Fifteen rules.
Your next negotiation.

Every rule ends with a question for practice. Take one into your next conversation.

01
The art of silence

A deliberate pause creates room to think and listen. What matters is the question you end it with.

Where do I want to stay silent?
02
The art of clarity

State your goal, your room to move and your limit so that agreements become verifiable.

Which number makes it concrete?
03
The art of validation

Show that you understood the objection. That commits you to no concession yet.

What interest sits behind it?
04
The art of emotional control

Recognise your reaction under pressure and create a moment between feeling and answer.

Which sentence unsettles me?
05
The art of saying no

A clear limit needs a calm formulation. An alternative can keep the conversation open.

Where is my limit?
06
The art of active listening

Questions and listening help you understand the other side's motives. Test your assumptions.

How would I know I am wrong?
07
The art of reframing

Widen the view on a problem without changing the facts.

Which factor is missing?
08
The art of strategic concession

Plan concessions and counter-values together. Look for variables both sides value differently.

What is my if-then sentence?
09
No premature commitments

Check the origin and consequence of a deadline before you commit under time pressure.

What if we do not commit today?
10
The art of long-term thinking

Bring the next collaboration into the decision. A close works beyond today's price.

What does this mean in two years?

Rules 11 to 15 are in the book — among them the power of walking away.

03No pitch at the end

25 minutes.
Three questions. One honest read.

You describe what you are working on. I tell you what I would look at first — and whether I am the right person for it. If I am not, I will say so.
