How our negotiation process works

We follow a structured process grounded in open communication, ensuring each negotiation is prepared, conducted, and reviewed for continuous improvement and balanced results.

1

Initial needs assessment

Begin by clarifying your objectives, constraints, and stakeholders involved.

We take time to understand your specific budget expectations, company priorities, and any previous pain points. This enables us to approach the discussion fully informed and equipped to support your goals.

2

Collaborative planning session

Engage stakeholders and explore various perspectives to gather input.

By facilitating open discussion, we ensure all interests are identified early. Our sessions help build alignment, set common goals, and increase buy-in from all parties before moving to detailed negotiation.

3

Guided negotiation meeting

Conduct a structured, yet flexible, negotiation with focus on clarity.

During the negotiation, we help each side articulate their views, collaborate on options, and maintain respectful dialogue. Attention to detail at this stage ensures that agreements reflect shared priorities.

4

Review and finalise outcomes

Assess negotiation results and confirm shared understanding.

Our review checks all aspects of the agreement, clarifies any uncertainties, and captures lessons for future negotiations. This closure step reinforces commitment to the agreed pathway.
