WELCOME TO COAXIS!

Founded in 2013, Coaxis Inc. is a Canadian consultancy dedicated to facilitating integrative (“win-win”) negotiated agreements. Drawing on decades of research and practical experience we help to bring about mutual, multi-stakeholder outcomes greater than any one party could achieve on their own. We are co-builders who consistently enable invested parties to realize otherwise unattainable goals together. 

Negotiating is tough enough without having to also plan for, monitor, and facilitate win-win proposals before, during, and following engagements (i.e., implementation). That’s where we come in! Our mission is to tangibly help build consensus by anticipating, identifying, and eradicating intrinsic impediments to viable, synergistic agreements. Our focus, therefore, is on the effective processes that drive joint developmental activities (and not any specific outcomes, per se). 

Successful integrative deliberations require parties to carefully manage the "tragedy of the commons": namely, the balancing of narrow, self-interests with collective benefits without excessive aggression or — equally deleterious — excessive compromise. Adding to these challenges is the near impossible task of expecting negotiators themselves to actively address and effectively manage these ever-present tensions while conducting deliberations. 

The best way to support a successful multi-stakeholder engagement is to anticipate the multitude of prospective issues and impediments likely to arise and to persistently monitor and manage such throughout. From pre-planning research, analysis, and collective guidance, through group facilitation, chairperson support and viability/commitment assessments, to implementation reviews and post deliberative follow-ups, we have you covered!
