"Many years ago, I attended at least a couple of the Negotiation Skills courses you ran for my company. They were some of the most relevant and practical courses I participated in. I endeavoured to put into practice the key elements of your approach over my subsequent career with the firm, first as a corporate finance partner and latterly as a member of the global executive board. Indeed, I still have your small card with key steps!"

Our story
The world of 1975 was very different. Back then, negotiation was barely understood and rarely studied. As one of our founders recalls: “My employer gave me no guidance or training on how to negotiate. I had to learn by trial and error.”
Changing times demanded a fresh approach, so Scotwork’s pioneers had a ground-breaking idea. They analysed thousands of hours of negotiation, revealed common behaviours and distilled their findings into a universal eight-step framework. This was the seed of the Scotwork negotiation course that went on to train over hundreds of thousands of people.
45 years later, we have grown into world-class negotiation specialists, with offices in 46 countries delivering negotiating consultancy and training in 29 languages.
