Levant Consulting is an employee-owned business focused on helping our clients deliver better organisational change and transformation.  We partner with our clients to ensure the critical elements for complex and technology-driven change are in place. Whether that’s a precursor to change (i.e., leadership alignment, operating model, and organisational design) or in support of technology implementation (i.e., stakeholder-centric change management).

Our team of consultants, based in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, work differently than other consultancies.  And that’s by design.  First and foremost, our focus is to deliver our clients great outcomes, not just a great report or lengthy pack of materials. Our small and nimble teams work side-by-side with your people to co-identify, co-build, co-implement and co-sustain the change.  We do this because we know that collaboration provides the best chance of success when it comes to complex change.  

We believe our size, focus on outcomes and determination to build capability in the teams we partner with is a key enabler for our clients.  It’s another reason we don’t have an army of consultants to throw at a problem or take it ‘offline’ to work on it in the dark.

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.
