Consulting

Our consulting supports two main areas



Partnerships

We support key stages from selection to execution of high value partnerships.

Even late stages of a negotiation provide an opportunity to create new value.

Process

The starting point is typically a deep analysis of the elements that make up your unique power and interest.

From those building blocks a negotiation strategy is created to enrich propositions and accelerate closure.

“Paul leveraged technology advances to create a new kind of deal structure. It scaled globally, becoming among our most complex and high value partnerships.”

Dr. Vijay Vusirikala, Director Architecture and Engineering
Google

Method

Our approach combines with your specific organisational content, and context, to exploit the full potential of your negotiation power.

The process is facilitated in a workshop setting. Clients co-develop, own and execute the strategy ensuring full commitment to its success.

Impact

  • Unanticipated, significant additional value

  • Material benefits flowing months earlier

  • Non-adversarial atmosphere building trust

  • Roadmap and pipeline for further partners

“New possibilities for the deal, unrealistic, even outrageous, were achieved by creating more value for both sides. The deal set the company alive."

Chris Moore, Managing Director
SLC

Turnarounds

If your negotiation is stalling, failing or not showing its true potential.

We bring new levers to revive it, restore momentum and move it to closure.

Process

It begins with powerful new conversation energizing the team. From there we examine together the history of the negotiation.

We quickly get to the heart of the problem. Then analyse where power and interest can be located and created to reverse its decline.

“We were devastated. We assumed we had no power. The turnaround was miraculous, the best experience of my career”

Joanna Merton,
Senior Partnerships Manager,
Cancer Research UK

Method

The need is often urgent. So we quickly move from workshop to small groups.

The team will still co-develop, own and execute strategy every step of the way.

Impact

  • Retake control of the negotiation process

  • Breathe new life and momentum to close

  • Beyond resetting to deeper relationship

  • Create environment for higher value deal

“Transformed our toughest challenge into an elegant framework deepening collaboration and trust. The resulting deal was ground-breaking for the company and industry”
