In-Company Negotiation Expert
‘The first thing I discovered after two days in their offices was that there are eight people, and all eight people had a completely different idea of what the outcome should be. So we spent a day just on outcome, until we had absolute clarity about what this team was trying to achieve.’ – ENS Negotiation Consultant

The ENS difference
Some consultants focus on content, giving advice about the specifics of your challenge or negotiation. But consultants that tell you what to do risk missing the real problems, or recommending actions that can’t actually be implemented.
We take a different approach. While ENS negotiation strategists have extensive commercial experience, they know that you’re the expert on your business. Rather than dictating solutions, they will guide you through the negotiation process in a way that challenges you to find the answers. By asking the right questions, a negotiation strategist will prompt you to think about the issues in a different way, highlighting opportunities and insights that would otherwise be missed – and ultimately helping to achieve the outcome you desire.
When you engage an ENS negotiation consultant, we will carefully diagnose your needs and match you with someone who has the right experience and expertise for your assignment. We have experts across industries including: mining and resources, government, aged care, media, construction, banking, fast-moving, consumer goods, health services, packaging, commercial property, financial services, manufacturing, and logistics retail.
ENS consultants have an extensive experience in the following areas: business acquisition and divestment, profit centre management, procurement, mergers, industrial relations, HR, land disputes, business cluster projects, business growth strategy, change management, complex commercial transactions, industry restructures, dispute resolution, and enterprise bargaining.
Coaching
Turning knowledge into outcomes is key to any investment in learning and our coaching approach supports your team to embed the ENS philosophies into your business.
We provide individual coaching tailoring sessions to gain outcomes specific to your business priorities.
