Not long ago, I wrote an article for The Negotiation Society suggesting that it may be time for businesses to appoint a Chief Negotiation Officer (CNO). At first, I thought it was a bold idea - but the reaction surprised me. It sparked lively debate, positive comments, and even a few people putting themselves forward for the role. That response made me stop and think: what would it actually look like if you stepped into a large multinational as their newly appointed Chief Negotiation Officer?
