What is the Cross-Functional AI Negotiation course about?

In high-velocity organizations, procurement isn't just about cost savings, it's about strategic positioning. Yet most negotiation frameworks fail to integrate inputs from engineering, compliance, and finance in real time. This creates delays, inconsistent outcomes, and missed synergies when acquiring new capabilities or vendors.
