Negotiation performance is rarely visible, until it’s too late.
Strategic Negotiator Selection
The wrong negotiator doesn’t just underdeliver, they cost you deals, margin, and trust.
Negotiation performance is rarely visible, until it’s too late.
High-stakes negotiations aren’t won with seniority, style, or confidence.
They’re won with clarity, control, and the ability to hold the line under pressure.
But most companies still pick negotiators based on instinct, availability, or résumé signals—leaving critical deals in the hands of people who were never ready for the table.
Strategic Negotiator Selection
HOW WE WORK WITH YOU
We assess negotiators the way you’d assess capital deployment: with structure, standards, and strategic clarity.
Define the Mission
We work with you to build a role-specific scorecard—focused on business outcomes, strategic priorities, and the precise behavioural profile required to deliver.
Evaluate Under Pressure
We assess candidates using simulation-based tools and the Kennedy Negotiation Profile—measuring not just what they know, but what they do under real-world pressure.
Predict Performance with Confidence
We deliver sharp, evidence-based recommendations on who to trust at the table—and how to mitigate risk, build support, and position them to succeed.
