Zero conflicts of interest in our business model, our work has helped leaders negotiate billions of pounds through better decisions and stronger agreements.

 

We are proud that the Kennedy Method is deeply embedded in half of the original FTSE 100 and taught at top business schools worldwide

Evidence-Based Methodology

“Sometimes my colleagues give away too much to close a deal, leaving my team with less to work with,”

noted a client CFO, highlighting how theoretical approaches that ignore the true dynamics of negotiation drive costly concessions and erode value.

Kennedy’s approach to negotiation is practical, not evangelical. our evidence-based methodology provides a clear, structured framework for managing negotiation as a phased behavioral process.

This model has governed billions in negotiation outcomes since 1976 and remains the behavioral foundation behind many of the original FTSE 100.
