One Connected Negotiation Intelligence Ecosystem

Different levels of insight. One connected understanding of how you negotiate.

See the whole picture

Elite Negotiator Index™

Your integrated negotiation profile across 12 dimensions — revealing archetypes, signature patterns, pressure transformation, internal tensions and development priorities.

Go deeper

Specialist Assessments

Six dedicated deep-dive assessments provide richer domain-specific reports into important components of your negotiation behaviour.

See the collective picture

Elite Negotiator Team Index™

Turn confidential individual profiles into an aggregated view of how a team negotiates — revealing collective capabilities, variation, pressure patterns and development priorities.

Answer once. Build progressively.

Your responses travel with you across the Elite Negotiator Index™ ecosystem. Questions already answered in one assessment do not need to be answered again.

From Diagnosis to Development

Assessment becomes most valuable when insight changes behaviour. The Elite Negotiator Index™ can connect individual and team diagnostics with focused development, practical negotiation training and continued reassessment.

1

Assess

Complete the Elite Negotiator Index™ assessment or any Specialist Assessment.

2

Understand

Receive a detailed profile of your negotiation patterns, archetypes and pressure response.

3

Develop

Index insights inform targeted corporate training and individual development priorities.

4

Practise

Apply frameworks in real-world simulations, workshops and live negotiations.

5

Reassess

Re-measure over time to track evolution and refine your development roadmap.

Assessment is a diagnostic starting point — not a guarantee of performance improvement. Development requires deliberate practice, training and ongoing application.

For Organizations

Understand How Your Team Negotiates.

From Individual Profiles to Collective Negotiation Intelligence
