Most people do not fail in negotiations. They simply aim too low. They enter the room hoping to: Reduce the increase. Limit the damage. Get something back. Avoid an argument. And then they celebrate a mediocre result because it was slightly better than the worst-case scenario. Perfect. If you’ve never felt that feeling… congrats. You’re probably never negotiated anything meaningful. For the rest… let me tell you that was my day to day. Every meeting. Clients, subbies, employees. Many years to...
Metronet was responsible for upgrading and maintaining most of the London Underground under one of the largest PPP programmes ever undertaken. The structure was sophisticated. The contracts were enormous. The advisers were experienced. And the incentives were fundamentally wrong. “That doesn’t apply to our project.” Of course not. Your project is unique. So was Metronet. Well… in our case. Metronet’s shareholders were also its principal suppliers. Con 2 c*jones… or with 2 eggs. Strong...
