"circleindigo added real value by providing the structure and processes to achieve the objectives. Particularly impressive was the way in which circleindigo became part of the central team and built strong relationships with each of us. The facilitation style used was unobtrusive and involved the team throughout the process but ensured we met the objectives. We have used circleindigo to carry out follow up reviews and I would have no hesitation in using them again."
