Discover our detailed approach to negotiations

The first step in our process is a detailed assessment session. Here, we listen to your perspective and learn about the current budget scenario, the concerns you hold, and the context behind organisational needs. We clarify what each party wants to achieve and identify any previous roadblocks or pain points that have affected previous conversations. By establishing rapport up front, we ensure all participants feel their opinions are valued. This thorough understanding allows us to shape the best route forward, facilitating a plan that recognises both spoken and unspoken priorities. We act as facilitators, never imposing but always aiming for clarity and trust.

Following the assessment, we develop a strategic plan tailored to your unique context. This includes defining clear objectives, drafting stakeholder roles, and setting appropriate timelines for every phase. We identify risk points and propose structures for discussion that ensure all participants are engaged. Our planning considers power dynamics and seeks to foster openness and transparency throughout each conversation. We assist you in preparing and sharing relevant documentation, setting the expectation for a respectful, confidential process aimed at sustainable agreement.

Once planning is complete, we facilitate negotiation sessions in which we maintain an unbiased and structured environment. Our advisors ensure respectful interaction, prevent escalation of disagreements, and help participants express their needs openly. By introducing solution-oriented questions, we support both sides in considering creative options. All sessions are confidential and designed to minimise tension, working patiently towards solutions that balance the interests of all stakeholders. Throughout, we offer real-time feedback, summarise progress, and encourage consistent momentum.

Once an agreement is made, our input doesn’t stop. We walk you through a summary session, highlighting what worked and suggesting improvements for future negotiations. Our team is on hand to provide ongoing feedback, answer queries, or participate in additional discussions should circumstances change. This careful, step-by-step review closes the engagement on a positive note, supporting continued growth in communication and negotiation confidence. Results may vary.
