The Next Move Network
A network for professionals who take negotiation capability seriously.
The Next Move Network sits at the intersection of technical negotiation capability and the art of leadership. A network growing organically, bringing together experienced practitioners, high-performing executives and emerging leaders to share knowledge and insights, mentor, challenge thinking and together build the future of negotiation capability across the Tasman.
Our Next Move Event 2027
Building on the resounding success of our 2026 summit, The Next Move 2027 returns as an unmissable, high-impact forum for senior leaders and ambitious professionals.
What separates people who are influential from those who merely have authority, expertise or a compelling argument?
What makes some people consistently influential while others struggle to move decisions forward?
Is influence an instinct, a personal quality or an art that cannot easily be explained? Or is it a capability that can be understood, developed and applied with intention?
This Next Move gathering will examine the psychology and practice of influence and persuasion, exploring what shapes our ability to move people, build alignment and affect decisions without relying on authority alone.
Through research, practical insight and discussion, we will challenge familiar assumptions about influence and consider what it takes to develop it as a deliberate leadership capability.
This year, we delve into the art and mystique of persuasion and influence, equipping you with high-level negotiation strategies, actionable frameworks, and your own personal psychological clarity to achieve this for you.
Featuring an exceptional lineup of guest speakers, real-world case analyses, and immersive sessions, the 2027 event is designed to elevate your strategic mindset, unlock new levels of executive presence, and connect you with a vibrant network of high-performing peers.
