Corporate Diplomacy is the way in which a company manages its strategic relations and protects its interest in an ever more complex environment. At the core of a successful diplomatic strategy is knowing what your interests are and knowing what the interest of your counterparts are (intelligence). Where aligned, use the alignment for strength – where opposed, make sure the opposition is contained and diminished.
About Corporate Diplomacy
Corporate Diplomacy
Diplomacy is often considered synonymous with ‘being nice’. It’s not. It isn’t entirely “the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions (Winston Churchill)” either. It is understanding your own interests extremely well, understanding the other’s interests at least as well – and making sure your own interests prevail.
