The ability to negotiate is a critical skill not just for external negotiations, but also for challenging internal negotiations.

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.

Negotiation Partners is a team of negotiation specialists.  Our clients trust us:

1. to train senior negotiators to deliver outstanding, sustainable outcomes
2. to assist teams to prepare for challenging negotiations, and if necessary
3. to negotiate agreements on their behalf

We work across all industries including healthcare, defence, logistics, infrastructure and banking.  We have delivered outcomes for Employment and Defence Dept’s, as well as state procurement teams in NSW, VIC and QLD.

We help our clients to reduce risk, to achieve more, and to deliver faster outcomes through more effective negotiation. That’s our promise.

The Canberra School of Politics, Economics and Society (SchoPES) and the Canberra Business School at the University of Canberra have provided consulting and research services in financial and economic analysis for 30 years. The former has taken over the staffing from the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling, which was recognised as a national leader in applied economic research and analysis.

The staff have extensive experience in analysing and modelling policy relevant issues in business, economics, and finance with state-of-art econometrics and data analysis techniques including microsimulation. Importantly many also have extensive practical experience working in and/or with the public service. Some also teach public servants through the graduate certificates programme.

The SchoPES academics are interdisciplinary; while the majority are economists there are also sociologists, political scientists and experts in international relations and national security. This equips them with capacities for tackling issues from multiple perspectives.

They have also been involved in many projects with state, territory and federal governments, private clients and NGO’s. Examples include modelling higher education fees and grants; economic advice on moving from stamp duty to rates; costing of election promises; advice on electric vehicle policy; and the role of child support.
