What is the Cross-Functional AI Negotiation course about?
Inconsistent negotiation approaches across sites lead to margin leakage, compliance exposure, and missed synergies. As AI tools become embedded in sourcing workflows, teams lack structured methods to coordinate across functions or adapt models to local constraints. This creates execution risk and slows ROI.
