What is the Negotiation Skills Capability Survey?

In 2016 we introduced our Negotiating Skills Capability Survey. It was designed to measure how well teams negotiate and to benchmark participants against what we consider global best practice.

When the first results of the survey were published, we had surveyed 5397 respondents worldwide across 51 sectors and industries, revealing clear negotiation trends and practices.

8 years later we have now surveyed over 27,000 people from 921 businesses in 65 countries, which is the largest database of negotiating behaviour anywhere. 

So we have decided to revisit the data and the conclusions we reached 8 years ago to see what, if anything, has changed in that time.

 

The Negotiation Skills Capability Survey evaluates 50 negotiating behaviours and activities in order to: explore, discover, review, evaluate and measure negotiators and negotiating behaviour.

Explore

Discover

Review
