Recent Parliamentary Audits have identified systemic shortcomings in negotiation and procurement practices across a range of Government Departments.  Skilful negotiation is key to delivering efficient procurement and effective contract management.  Too often, government delivers poor outcomes because commercially inexperienced public servants are left to deliver important negotiations, having had no training in negotiation skills.  They face commercially astute and highly skilled corporate negotiators with predictable outcomes.

1. to train senior negotiators to deliver outstanding, sustainable outcomes
