Elite Negotiator Team Index™

Understand how your team negotiates.

The Elite Negotiator Team Index™ transforms confidential individual profiles into an aggregated view of how a team negotiates — revealing collective capabilities, variation, pressure patterns, team tensions and development priorities.

From individual insight to collective negotiation intelligence.

What It Reveals

What can the Elite Negotiator Team Index™ reveal?

Team Capability Map

See the team’s average profile across the reportable Elite Negotiator Index™ dimensions.

Collective Capabilities

Identify the areas where the team shows the strongest collective capability.

Development Opportunities

See where the largest development opportunities appear across the cohort.

Archetype Landscape

Understand which negotiation patterns are most represented across the team.

Profile Diversity

See how varied or concentrated the team’s primary negotiation patterns are.

Pressure Response

Understand the team’s dominant pressure-response patterns and how widely they vary.

Team Tensions

Identify combinations of strong tendencies that may create productive strengths or development tensions.

Training Roadmap

Translate the analytics into focused development priorities and training implications.

Sample Dashboard

See the team at a glance.

A synthetic composition based on actual Team Index report outputs. Real reports are generated from your cohort’s eligible assessments.

Practise deciding when outcome focus should lead and when relationship investment should lead.

Deeper Than An Average

More than an average score.

A team can have a respectable average and still contain very different individual patterns. The Elite Negotiator Team Index™ combines central tendency, variation, archetype mix, pressure response and development signals to create a more useful view of collective capability.

Average

Where the team sits overall across the reportable dimensions.

Variation

How consistent or diverse the team is within each dimension.

Pattern

How behaviours combine across the cohort — archetypes, tensions and pressure responses.

Profile Diversity

Is your team aligned — or varied?

Profile diversity shows how concentrated or varied the team’s primary archetype landscape is. A concentrated team shares strengths — and blind spots. A broad team contains multiple routes to effectiveness.

BROADMODERATECONCENTRATED

Diversity is a descriptive classification, not a performance score.

Under Pressure

How does your team change when the stakes rise?

Pressure can shift negotiation behaviour. The Elite Negotiator Team Index™ shows the distribution of pressure-response patterns across the cohort and highlights where pressure responses are concentrated or varied.

Pressure Stabilizer35%

A meaningful tendency toward stability under pressure.

Pressure Amplifier20%

A tendency toward intensified responses under pressure.

Pressure Erosion18%

A tendency toward gradual shift under pressure.

Pressure Collapse10%

A tendency toward significant shift under pressure.

Pressure Split12%

Divergent pressure responses across the cohort.

Pressure category is a behavioural pattern, not a performance measure. Percentages are synthetic sample data.

Team Tensions

Where strengths can create tension.

Some combinations of strong collective tendencies can create both advantage and development risk. The Team Index highlights selected combinations where the cohort’s pattern may deserve attention.

RESULTS + RELATIONSHIPS

Results Orientation + Relationship Orientation

Evidence: Both strong: the cohort shows high outcome focus and high relationship investment.
Development implication: Practise deciding deliberately when outcome focus should take priority and when relationship investment should lead.

PRINCIPLES + ADAPTABILITY

Principles Orientation + Strategic Adaptability

Evidence: Both strong: the cohort anchors in objective criteria while valuing strategic flexibility.
Development implication: Practise distinguishing between principles that should not move and preferences that can legitimately adapt.

VALUE CREATION + RESULTS

Value Creation + Results Orientation

Evidence: Both strong: the cohort searches for mutual gains while maintaining strong closure focus.
Development implication: Practise ensuring that searching for mutual gains does not dilute commercial focus, and vice versa.

Tensions are not dysfunctions. They are combinations of strengths that benefit from deliberate calibration.

From Analytics to Development

From team insight to targeted development.

The Team Index helps organizations move from generic training to more targeted development by showing where collective capability is strong, where variation is high and where development priorities are most relevant.

BUILD THE PROGRAM AROUND THE TEAM —

NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Examples vary by cohort. Synthetic sample signals shown.

Team Signal

Power Orientation appears frequently in development priorities

Training Focus

Practise deliberate use of leverage, alternatives and power dynamics.

Team Signal

Pressure Response shows significant variation across the cohort

Training Focus

Use high-pressure simulations to preserve decision quality under stakes.

Team Signal

Results + Relationships tension is present

Training Focus

Practise deciding when outcome focus should lead and when relationship investment should lead.

Team Signal

Strategic Adaptability appears in high-variation insights

Training Focus

Define behavioural modes and strategy-switch signals in advance.

Privacy

Individual confidentiality. Collective insight.

Individual assessment responses and reports remain confidential. The Elite Negotiator Team Index™ uses aggregate, anonymized information to create the team view.

Minimum Cohort Size

Team reporting is only generated when minimum cohort-size privacy requirements are met.

Ethical Boundary Protection

Ethical Boundary Stability is handled with additional privacy protection in team reporting. No individual ethical scores, rankings or moral labels are shown.

Change Over Time

Where organizations choose to reassess, the Team Index can support comparison of aggregate patterns across different assessment points while preserving existing privacy and retake rules.

Important: Team Index comparison shows aggregate patterns over time. It does not prove that training caused a specific change. Use comparisons to observe patterns, not to claim causal attribution.

Who It Is For

Where the Team Index creates value.

Procurement Teams

Understand negotiation capability across buyers and category teams.

Sales / Commercial Teams

See how influence, value creation, pressure and results patterns combine.

Leadership Teams

Explore strategic adaptability, relationships, principles and pressure response.

Cross-Functional Teams

Identify where different negotiation patterns may create complementarity or tension.

High-Stakes Negotiation Teams

Use aggregate insight to inform development before complex negotiations.

How It Works

How the Elite Negotiator Team Index™ works.

1

Create the Cohort

Organization sets up the team or cohort.

2

Invite Participants

Secure invitations are issued to each participant.

3

Individuals Complete Their Assessment

Each participant completes the Elite Negotiator Index™ or contributes relevant existing assessment answers through the connected ecosystem.

4

Team Data Is Aggregated

Eligible results are aggregated after privacy and quality rules.

5

Team Report & Development Roadmap

The organization receives collective intelligence and development implications.

Quality Controls

Built with quality controls.

  • Quality-layer eligibility — only eligible completed profiles contribute to team analytics
  • Retake deduplication — intentional retakes are handled to avoid double-counting
  • Minimum cohort-size privacy — team reports require a minimum number of eligible profiles
  • Anonymized team reporting — no individual scores or names appear in the team view
  • Traceability — aggregate outputs trace to stored source data
  • Deterministic aggregation — the same inputs always produce the same team outputs
  • Empirical calibration status — calibration is in progress; team averages are cohort observations, not population benchmarks

Designed for development. Not employee ranking.

The Elite Negotiator Team Index™ is designed to support collective development and training decisions. It is not intended to rank employees or serve as a hiring or performance-evaluation tool.
