“Our experience working with Spindle was extremely positive. They developed a sustainability action plan for a major national research platform that deals with issues of academic sustainability, partnerships with public and private sectors, and promoting the use of the research platform to its stakeholders. Spindle interviewed many of the members of this national platform and incorporated complex ideas into a set of very concise recommendations to structure our research platform. I very much enjoyed working with the Spindle Team.”
