ProfessionalSolution-drivenReliable

Three characters, one promise.

NC8 stands for negotiation, communication and aidvice. We bring people together, make the “human black box” easier to read, and deliver solutions that work in practice right away – with the resources you already have.

We think ahead.

Negotiation

The good news: you can learn to negotiate.

We all negotiate every day – sometimes we’re happy, sometimes we wish for a better outcome. Why are results so different? Power? Too little preparation? Professional negotiation can be learned and practised. What matters is leading every important negotiation correctly from the very first second.

  • Stay in control of every negotiation from the start
  • The right questions instead of the loudest arguments
  • Preparation that makes the difference
  • Better results – measurable and repeatable
The one who asks is the one who leads.

communication

Communication

For centuries, hieroglyphs remained a riddle.

Only the Rosetta Stone – the same text, side by side in two languages – made them readable. NC8 delivers exactly that personal “Rosetta Stone”: the key to finally understanding others. We make the “human black box” more transparent – for you and your team.

  • Collaboration across departments and professions
  • Deliberately raise empathy and creativity
  • Break up silo thinking, dissolve hidden agendas
  • Fewer sick days, more immediately usable solutions
We make people readable.
aidvice

Aidvice®

Aidvice – from “aid” and “advice”.

Help and advice that we don’t just recommend but implement with you. In a confidential first conversation we map your current situation, your goal and your pace. Then we support you hands-on – with existing resources instead of expensive add-ons.

  • Advice and real support during implementation
  • Three wishes – we deliver at least two of them
  • Confidential, solution-driven, reliable
  • Success is when you no longer need us
You can always pick two at once.

AKM® · Adaptive Knowledge Management

Maximum impact with existing resources.

AKM® is a method developed by NC8. It ensures you reach your business goals with the means you already have: your people, your material, your finances. No layoffs, no third party – just more capacity where it already exists.

Success-based: NC8 offers to be paid in full only once jointly defined goals have been reached.

Harvard & Sail

Learn to negotiate where it gets real – on a sailing yacht.

Some of our negotiation seminars take place where decisions have immediate consequences: aboard a sailing yacht. Same content as on land – but under real pressure, in real wind. Confident leadership isn’t forged in fair weather, but when the sea grows rough.

The founder

Mag. Markus Nekham

CEO & founder · NC8 / NETWORX
Listen · Understand · Solve.

Born and raised in Vienna, Markus Nekham emigrated to the USA after his technical education. As the only male au pair among thousands in Atlanta, at barely 19 he became the go-to mediator in conflicts between au pairs and their host families – almost always leaving the relationship not only saved but improved.

Back in Europe he founded NETWORX – more than 30 years ago. Today he lectures at several universities and works as a solution-oriented conflict manager for companies of every size. He invented AKM® and launched the pro-bono project “Negotiation for All!”.

Nekham defines success as the moment he and his team are no longer needed. That is precisely why payment comes only once the shared goals are reached.
