Background

The authority on high-stakes negotiation

What works in a kidnap negotiation works in a boardroom. Here's why.

Evidence-based

How 1,000+ high-stakes crisis and business negotiations built a proven method that works

Scott spent years operating in the shadows, resolving kidnapping, extortion, and crisis cases where lives hung in the balance.

From this experience he developed the Red Centre™ negotiation method. He now applies that same evidence-based rigour and negotiation discipline to commercial teams worldwide.

His approach is not theoretical. It is forged in the field, tested under extreme pressure, and refined for the world's most demanding executives.
