The spur: Standard

Welcome to The spur: Standard, our monthly periodical where we share some of the happenings at spur: & spur:org.

For me, November always feels like a bit of a forgotten month. It seems to sneak up out of nowhere & causes me to remark on the fact that the year is almost over, with the same sort of surprise as you'd say 'ooph is that the time' after an unexpected late night. Although the speed at which we reach November always catches me unawares, it still also manages to put everyone in a state of limbo — caught between starting to wind down & celebrate the years end, but still trying to accomplish everything on an ever growing to do list.

Despite the mixed & unexpected states this month places us in, it also allows us to pause & take stock of all that’s been achieved over the year.

It is in the same vein that we are gearing up for the spur: smash – our annual campfire where we get together to look back at the year that's been & prepare for what's to come.

But before we dive into a well deserved rest (& celebratory) period, there is still a lot of exciting things to share since we last wrote to you.

In this issue is a new prototyping tool we’ve developed to help identify & solve complex social problems. We're also sharing work we've with our friends – MATES in Construction. You'll also find a delicious spur: cookbook recipe, commentary from Will on some new internal changes we’ve made & more.
