Value Proposition – Communication Skills - Stating Your Case
Requirements
- Students who will benefit most from this course will be those who already have had at least a couple of years experience working cross functionally and those who can appreciate the context of a technology department.
Description
We need to convince, and in the business world, we need to get to the point and state our case quickly and effectively. To help us do this, employing the "Value Propositions" technique helps clarify our thinking on what is important to the person we are speaking to. This course helps improve your communication skills and how you manage your relationships.
The course includes:
What is a Value Proposition
Define a Value Proposition
Value Proposition Framework, examples and case study.
This course is the second in a series that cover our “VITAR” framework for Relationship Management. Relationship Management is a core skill for anyone who needs to interact with people to get the job done. Different approaches, values, ways of communicating, empathy, ego and authenticity are all important considerations, yet in the bustle of our daily lives, we either forget, rely on our innate stock of skills because they have worked in the past or just muddle through. We could get the job done far quicker, but we need to unlock the code of Effective Relationships to do so. Having a solid "Value Proposition" is one of the keys that unlock that code.
