Without boots, there are only stones in the road.

The complexity of today's organizations has led to hyper-specialization. This allows many specific problems to be solved but has simultaneously generated structures, practices and even languages that have distanced people from their organization's true purpose.

At Spines we cultivate and share the skills that allow people to connect their rapid changing context with a purposeful path. Skills to think better, learn better and faster and work in a more effective and meaningful way, not only personally but fundamentally in teams.

Our approach assumes you need to learn from those who have already synthesised research and experience of thousands of failures and successes before you. Learning these ideas is the difference between adopting a working method and learning to see work and its context.

Explore our Facilitation, Training and Coaching portfolio for learning and development of these skills with strategic purpose. We call it Bootstraps.
