Les Négociales at ICD Paris: The must-attend event!
Amid the glittering excitement of the competition, the ICD Business School recently hosted the qualifying day of Les Négociales, the largest French-language negotiation competition. Under the passionate guidance of Professor Ron Evret, the day was an intense immersion in the delicate art of negotiation for students determined to prove their excellence.
A morning of challenges
The determined students embraced the morning at dawn, greeted by Ron Evret who unveiled the first negotiation case : the Würth case. Armed with freshly honed skills, they had two hours to prepare before facing a demanding 4-member jury. The challenge: role-playing based on the cases presented, where selling the product to the jury was the crucial mission.

The students, bearers of innovation, took up the negotiations, demonstrating their adaptability and agility in the face of a variety of scenarios. The networking, celebrated at a cocktail party, created a web of professional connections, reinforcing the community spirit.
