Negotiation
2.0
Stop training for a world that no longer exists.
Most negotiation training is built on 20th century assumptions. Negotiation 2.0 resets how your team thinks and acts — equipping them with the mechanics, tools, and mindset required to perform consistently in today’s complex, data-rich, multi-stakeholder environments.

Today's reality
- Surging complexity & margin pressure
- Negotiations across multiple stakeholders & channels
- Accelerating AI adoption & data availability
- Generational shifts in authority & decision-making
- Legacy training delivering outdated results
What most negotiation training
gets wrong
Most approaches your team has encountered are rooted in 20th century assumptions — stable environments, linear processes, face-to-face dominance, and limited data. The result is inconsistency when it matters most.
- Techniques accumulated without a clear structure for when and how to use them
- Preparation treated as optional rather than the primary source of control
- Training designed for single-interaction, face-to-face settings that no longer dominate
- No shared language across the commercial team — every negotiator improvises alone
- Zero integration of AI, data, and asynchronous channel dynamics
- Tactics-first thinking that collapses under real commercial complexity
Heard from the negotiation table
What participants gain
Three capability shifts that matter
A shared negotiation foundation
- A clear, modern understanding of how negotiations are won and lost
- Dispelling the myths that quietly undermine commercial results
- A common language that improves team coordination and decision quality
- Confidence in what negotiation actually is — and what it is not
Preparation that drives control
- A systematic, repeatable preparation discipline
- Objective setting: WAP, ZOPA, and opening position design
- Using AI as a core preparation and scenario-planning tool
- Decision-making frameworks that hold under commercial pressure
Negotiation mechanics that scale
- Negotiation trajectory design and structured move planning
- Multi-interaction and multi-stakeholder negotiation architecture
- Behavioral fundamentals for live, hybrid, and async environments
- A repeatable approach that scales across deals, teams, and contexts
Core learning areas
Six domains. One day.
Value-Based Negotiation
Distributive and value-creative realities — when to compete, when to expand, and how to recognise which game you are actually playing.
Opening Positions & Objective Setting
Walk Away Points, Zone of Possible Agreement, and the architecture of a credible, ambitious opening position that sets the anchor.
Negotiation Trajectory & Move Planning
How negotiations actually progress over time. Designing trajectories in advance rather than reacting — so every concession is intentional.
Preparation Discipline & AI Integration
A structured approach to preparation — including using AI tools to model scenarios, stress-test positions, and surface counterpart logic.
Discomfort, Rejection & Silence
Information management, the deliberate use of silence, handling rejection without capitulating, and behavioral fundamentals under pressure.
Multi-Media & Fragmented Interactions
Applying negotiation principles across live, hybrid, email, and async digital sequences — where most modern commercial negotiations unfold.
