What is the Operationally-Sound AI Negotiation course about?
Public-sector procurement teams face increasing pressure to adopt AI-driven solutions while maintaining strict standards for fairness, auditability, and value delivery. Traditional negotiation frameworks fall short when applied to adaptive, data-driven contracts. Without operationally-grounded methods, teams risk agreeing to terms that look optimal on paper but fail under real-world execution pressures.
