The Gap Partnership is delighted to announce the launch on its website of the Negotiation Maturity Calculator – a clever commercial assessment tool that provides a snapshot of how mature your organization’s negotiation culture is. Free to use and providing a verdict in under 5 minutes, it has been designed to shine a light on those areas of a business that are negotiating less than optimally and therefore underperforming commercially.
But first of all, what does The Gap Partnership mean by a mature negotiation culture? Well, excellence in the discipline of negotiation throughout a business is a critical factor in the effectiveness of its overall commercial performance. As a result, high-performing organizations recognize the importance of investing in the development of negotiation skills and behaviors in every area of their operations. Such organisations have a mature negotiation culture.
The first step in developing a negotiation culture starts with an understanding of current performance. Which is where the Negotiation Maturity Calculator comes in. A “light” version of The Gap Partnership’s more in-depth diagnostic tool, it asks users to rate their organization on 9 key areas. Each area has a scale and a descriptor at each end, so the user can select what part of the scale their company currently sits.
Once all 9 sections are completed, the Calculator issues an assessment in the form of a percentage score, summary analysis and suggested next steps. For users who complete the Calculator, see their results and decide that they are interested in finding out more about fostering a negotiation culture, then the more in-depth tool, The Negotiation Maturity Index, could be the answer.
The Negotiation Maturity Index (NMI) is a powerful diagnostic tool that allows organizations to review their negotiation capability, infrastructure, and foundation. It provides a three-dimensional analysis of their overall negotiation maturity. Its output can be used as a blueprint for continuous commercial improvement.
