As a Department of Defence Negotiation Services Panel Member, Scotwork have a long and rich history of providing both negotiation training and consulting services to the Department of Defence.
From a training perspective, we have trained well over 1700 Defence and Industry alumni over the past 27 years.
However, we also have a wealth of experience when it comes to providing negotiation consulting and advisory services to the Commonwealth, having worked closely across major negotiations in Aerospace, Land, Joint and Maritime.
A.N.S. takes a practical approach to skills building. 80% of time is devoted to case-play exercises and 20% to lecture-style teaching. Each case-play recreates a typical conflict scenario. Participants work in teams to find a resolution using different negotiation techniques. Run over three days, every half-day module includes a short lecture, preparation, case-plays and video analysis.
Simon Kelland & Phil Joynes who are tutors on the Defence Specific ANS course spend a large portion of each year either training, consulting, or leading negotiations for the Commonwealth.
They both sit as Tier 1 members on the Defence Negotiation Services Standing Offer panel and are experienced lead negotiators on high risk, high value, complex projects that span all levels of ACAT and MSCAT.
