Every business must manage key relationships with its customers, suppliers, and partners. To achieve competitive advantage and attain success, a business has to find a way to build and maintain relationships as it negotiates to create and distribute value.My life’s work is focused on helping people deal with their differences to resolve conflict and create value. I have worked in 119 countries, in commercial, non-profit, and academic sectors. Each of these pursuits is mutually reinforcing, and I have been continuously learning over a 40-year career.Armed with my experiences facilitating cease-fire negotiations, cessation of hostilities, new constitutions, and hostage negotiations, commercial conversations in the private sector seem like easy targets for resolving differences and creating more value.What could your organization accomplish if everyone was in alignment? Through collaborative problem solving, Vantage Partners supports companies to create and sustain long-term relationships with customers, suppliers, and alliance partners for internal and external innovation.I am drawn to aiding people around the world find new ways to resolve their differences and to collaborate to create value together and distribute it equitably.Helping my clients in the industries of professional services, financial services, media & entertainment, and oil & gas to solve business problems and create sustainable mutually-beneficial relationships is hugely satisfying.I’ve been negotiating with a woman named Nancy for 47 years now (and she has taught me a lot… many of the lessons learned over and over). We have two adult children (and their spouses) and three grandchildren. We enjoy traveling, skiing, and scuba diving adventures as a family.View the media below and contact me with any questions.Email: mgordon@vantagepartners.comSpecialties: Negotiation Process | Business Negotiation Strategies | Negotiation Training | The Art of Negotiation | Leadership Training
