Negotiation Maturity Calculator

Companies who excel at commercial execution share some common skillsets, attitudes and practices which fall into one of three categories: people, process and organisation. By measuring your company's performance in each of these areas, we can produce an overall measure of commercial negotiation capability – or, in other words, “negotiation maturity”. This is the starting point to instilling a high-performing commercial negotiation culture in your business.

For a snapshot of your organisation’s commercial negotiation score, try out our Negotiation Maturity Calculator.
