Expert Advice for High-Stakes Deals

In today's complex business landscape, effective negotiation is more than just a skill—it's a critical driver of organizational success. At Business Negotiation Academy, our Negotiations Consulting services are designed to help you navigate the intricacies of high-stakes deals, strategic partnerships, and long-term business relationships.

The BNA Negotiation Framework

At the core of our consulting services is the BNA Negotiation Framework, a comprehensive, process-based approach that synthesizes negotiation best practices. This framework guides organizations through four critical stages:

  1. RFP, Evaluation, and Selection
  2. Formal Negotiations
  3. Transition and Implementation
  4. Post-Deal Relationship Management

Redefining Organizational Negotiation

Recognizing that negotiation isn't just an individual skill, but a critical organizational capability. This insight led me to develop the BNA Strategic Negotiation Model, a comprehensive framework that has since transformed how businesses approach negotiations globally.
