Change the window yourself

Experience Jens Højbergs eye opening lecure ‘change the window yourself’.

Every Danish business will call the glazier if a window has been broken during the weekend.

Why not change the window yourself?

The point with ‘change the window yourself’ is that it requires a lot more resources to make a contract with a glazier or another supplier than to change the broken window.

This may be a trivial example however; the resources spent finding suppliers and negotiate contracts which are often unproductive because you don’t have the expertise ‘in-house’.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS
“I present simple solutions to save many hours and thousands if you just give this some consideration. The lecture is a crash course on changing a broken window with the primary aim to make the audience understand the value of making a successful negotiation of a complicated contract” – says Jens Højberg who has 20 years of experience.

SUBJECTS
The lecture can be tailor-made using these topics:

  • How do you identify the need for purchase?
  • How do you assess if the purchase can be handled internally?
  • What makes a negotiation successful?
  • Simple principles to decisive success?
  • When should you consult an expert in purchase?
