Game theory, negotiation and procurement courses
Nine self-paced courses of about two hours each. You play every game before you learn its name, and you earn a certificate when you pass. Start with the free game theory foundations course; the rest cost £9.89 each, with the first lesson free to play.
Strategic thinking
Think Three Moves Ahead
Game theory foundations in plain English: payoffs, dominant moves, Nash equilibrium, game trees, threats and repeated games, learned by playing them.
Intermediate · 9 lessons · £9.89Changing the Game
Stop playing a bad game well: change the players, rules, timing or stakes, and make your threats, promises and signals believable.
Negotiation
Bargaining Power
The game theory of one-to-one negotiation: where bargaining power really comes from, and how to use every bit of it.
Beginner · 9 lessons · £9.89The Psychology of the Deal
Behavioural economics at the table: fairness, risk, framing, anchors and decoys, and how to use and resist them in a real haggle.
Intermediate · 9 lessons · £9.89From Facts to Game Plan
Prepare and run a one-to-one negotiation step by step, from the fact sheet to the final offer, on one cinema-chain case.
Procurement
Designing a Winning Tender
Run tenders where the rules are fixed before anyone bids, so suppliers give their best offer first time instead of holding back.
Intermediate · 10 lessons · £9.89Apples and Pears: True Price
Compare suppliers that aren't alike on one number, the True Price: credits and charges for every difference, whole-life cost in today's money, and a change price list that stops cost creep.
Auctions
Auctions Decoded
The four auction formats, how to bid in each, why they often tie, and how to dodge the winner's curse, learned by bidding.
Advanced · 10 lessons · £9.89When the Textbook Breaks
Where standard auction advice stops working: strong favourites, suppliers who must win, rings, hidden fields, split awards and long contracts, and the design moves that fix each one.
