Engagement models
Confidential consultation (60–90 min):
Clarify the situation, identify leverage points, and leave with 2–3 recommendations plus a next step.
Leadership training (4 days):
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):
Stakeholder map, objections, narrative & messaging, meeting design, rehearsal, follow-up.
Advanced advisory sprint (2–8 weeks):
Governance reset, repositioning, external affairs strategy, or stakeholder engagement plan.
Built around credibility, proof points and delivery.
Advisory (ongoing):
Rapid preparation support for moments that matter, plus cadence routines that improve leadership communication over time.
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.
◦ Reputation is no longer just “comms” — it is a licence to operate.
◦ Geopolitical shifts, policy changes and regulatory expectations can quickly reshape market
conditions and risk.
◦ Stakeholder trust can erode fast if values, actions and delivery do not match the narrative.
◦ 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."
