Gap Tools, Online Negotiation Planning Solution

As part of the their ongoing commitment to innovation, The Gap Partnership launched Gap Tools, the world's first online Negotiation Planning toolkit.

07 October 2011

CEO, Steve Gates commented 'Effective negotiation is 90% preparation. Gap Tools provides our clients, wherever they are in the world with a real advantage in being able to access and utilise the very tools that will serve to enhance their trading performance'.

Two suites of tools are accessible through eGap to clients who attend either a behavioural or strategic programme:

Tactical Suite: Designed to help with any tactical negotiation. Provides for creative brainstorming of variables, prioritising tradeoffs, and plot breakpoints and opening positions.  With unique visual online technology users can map and repackage negotiation scenarios and allow others in secure virtual groups to view plans in real time.

Strategic Suite: Allows teams to align their thinking on scoping the negotiation, agree on objectives, and decide upon an approach that all stakeholders understand…before the negotiation begins. The tools help to define the appropriate strategy for your situation, map out contingency plans, calculate the balance of power, assess potential problems, and even predict the level of risk associated with challenging strategies.

This internet based toolkit, is available in 11 languages and provides a common language and a common standard for preparation across all Gap clients.
