Negotiating the breif meeting 1

I attended the meeting with my group and the members in it who were; James Deeley, Andrew Kimberley and Dale Harris and within the meeting we had a guest visitor which was Mr Bowles who was invited.

My performance

My performance was not strong during the meeting because I never discussed anything and never spoke throughout it. Another weakness would have been because i was not 100% sure on what was going on until the meeting begun because i was not in the lesson before when we was discussing the meeting. I did not negotiate because Dale was our negotiator and he got a good discussion going with James Chatton and our groups ideas were taken in and we came to an agreement on our negotiation. My strengths would have been taking in everything that was said in the meeting and thinking about the negotiations which were offered to James Chatton.
The area's were i would improve for the next meeting will be to discuss our negotiation with Mr Chatton and back up our idea's like Dale did. Also i will take notes so that i remember everything that was discussed within the meeting.
Feed back from the visitor Mr Bowles thought I had good negotiation skills before the actual negotiating meeting took place in the premeeting that the class had before the actual meeting with James Chatton.

My group performance

I believe that as an overall that our group done really well to persuade Mr Chatton to accept our negotiation to add a loose leaflet to the brochure. We co-operated well as a group and came up with a good idea to include within the 'You Need Cycles' brochure. Dale had really good negotiation skills to get the deal agreed for what we wanted. The weakness' that we had was that Me and Andrew never really had much to do. Andrew had to observe the meeting and only had to write down a few things and then just listen in the meeting. James was suppose to take down notes but never because didn't know that he had to actually take them down. The only persron in our group to speak to Mr Chatton was Dale who disscused everything but never gave a chance for anyone else to speak. The main reason for this because he was strong and kept a focus on what he wanted James Chatton to change his brochure.
The area's which can be improved for our group is make sure what the whole of the group know's what they are doing so that if next time the negotiator struggles that can help back him up.
Feedback from Mr Chatton for our group was plaesed that we reached a decision and prepared for amendment to take place. The group was prepared to go into the meeting with a clear focus and a intended outcome with a loose leaflet. So as an overall it was a win - win situation for both our group and Mr Chatton.



Feedback for group

The group that I am giving feedback on is Group 1/A which consists of Jurgen Hajdini, James Collett and Jenifer Lamb. This group's negotiation skills with James Chatton seemed to be poor and didn't look as if they new what was happening within the meeting. They may have known what idea they wanted to go in with but they couldn't back up there argument so that their idea's would have been considered by Mr Chatton. The whole group was shakey and couldn't get what they wanted to say out. They may have not known as a whole what to do but had a breif idea. For them to improve for the next meeting I would say that the whole group needs to know what they are on about so in case their negotiator gets stuck they can help that person out. Their strengths were that the whole group get involved and new basically what there idea for negotiation was.
