Engagement models
Confidential consultation (60–90 min):
Clarify the situation, identify leverage points, and leave with 2–3 recommendations plus a next step.

Full Spine framework — self-regulation, behavioural stakeholder insight, preparation, and meeting and negotiation practices that build alignment and influence. Includes access to the Spine Hive toolkit upon completion.
​
Tailor made programmes (1-3 days):
Scenario-based workshops built around management priorities — linking leadership, governance and geopolitics to business decision-making.
​
Decision or negotiation prep (1–3 weeks):

Indicative time ranges. Final scope and timeline depend on context and urgency.

Advanced Advisory EXPLAined
Advanced advisory = hands-on, operational support.
We work discreetly alongside leadership to prepare, shape and deliver in real time.
Fast turnaround. High-stakes contexts. Clear decisions and credible execution.
From team performance to external impact
We apply the same Spine mechanics externally — helping leaders
earn trust, protect room to manoeuvre and stay credible under challenge.

â—¦ Reputation is no longer just “comms” — it is a licence to operate.
â—¦ Geopolitical shifts, policy changes and regulatory expectations can quickly reshape market
conditions and risk.
â—¦ Stakeholder trust can erode fast if values, actions and delivery do not match the narrative.
â—¦ Corporate diplomacy is public diplomacy — stance and behaviour shape permission to operate
with policymakers, regulators, media, investors, employees and communities.
​
"We connect positioning, external relations and proof points — so that legitimacy
is built through delivery, not campaigns."
