Common Outlook’s Peter Hiddema Launches his Harvard-based Strategic Negotiation Teaching Series for 2010

TORONTO, ONTARIO, April 12, 2010 -- Common Outlook, a firm that teaches the Harvard Negotiation Project’s methodology to executives and their teams internationally, today launched their Harvard-based Strategic Negotiation Teaching Series for 2010. The program delivers mission critical skills to support executives and their teams to negotiate more successful relationships and better financial transactions in today’s business environment.

“Doing business in the 21st century requires new thinking and new sets of skills. Corporations and the people who run them need to be more creative, more agile, and need to do more with less in order to compete and provide sustained value. Our clients tell us that what we teach provides exactly that,” said Mr. Hiddema.
Since 1996, Mr. Hiddema has consulted with executives on effective negotiating skills. In the last 2 years alone, he has advised on financial transactions well in excess of US$2 billion.

"Common Outlook is keenly focused on knowing our challenges and presenting powerful and practical ideas for addressing them. Their work has produced the behaviour change I was looking for,” said Glenn Blaylock, Senior Vice-President, Operations, RBC Royal Bank.
Executives and their teams who have participated in Common Outlook’s Harvard-based Strategic Negotiation and Conflict Management programs say they are immediately able to apply their learning experience to produce tangible results.
