What is the MORE PIES framework?

MORE PIES is Red Centre Global's 7-step active listening toolkit developed from crisis negotiation. The acronym stands for: Minimal Encouragers (encouraging the other person to continue speaking), Open-Ended Questions (questions that invite elaboration), Reflecting/Mirroring (repeating key words to prompt expansion), Emotional Labelling (identifying and reflecting the emotion behind words), Pauses (strategic use of silence), I-Messages (expressing your perspective without blame), and Summarising (tying everything together to demonstrate understanding). It is designed to uncover what truly drives the other side's decisions and is a core component of Red Centre Global's negotiation training.

What is the Strategic Concession Sequencing Framework?

The Strategic Concession Sequencing Framework is a Red Centre Global proprietary tool for the strategic ordering of concessions to maximise value extraction during negotiations. Most negotiators concede in order of discomfort — giving away whatever the other side pushes hardest on first to de-escalate tension. This destroys leverage and leaves nothing to trade when they attack your highest-value items. The framework teaches a disciplined approach to concession ordering that preserves leverage and maximises outcomes.
