"CastleAsia provides a one stop shop for senior business executives in Indonesia. Regular up to date reports and opinions plus 'stop press' developments from a team of experienced experts ensure you are kept abreast changes in the business environment. Their round table discussions are of particular value allowing business leaders to interact on topics of mutual interest through professional facilitation."

"We have found that CastleAsia’s substantial and profound local knowledge, insights and networks have been an enormous help to our company in understanding the risks and business opportunities of operating in Indonesia."

"Castle Asia gives you good economic data and opinions but more importantly it introduces you to the people who make the key political and business decisions in Indonesia. Their meetings and forums are interactive and useful. We value their input."

"ICP by CastleAsia is a useful program for global companies operating in Indonesia. It provides inside stories which we couldn't find outside the group. A roundtable informal setting provides a supportive environment for all participants to share and discuss freely on hot topics in the country which could impact their operation. It is attended by the real players and experts in their fields who guarantee the accuracy of the topics discussed. It helps to gauge the investment environment and future business prospects which enables us to make the right decisions for the success of the company".

"The ICP program is not only a useful information source but it is an important aspect in our efforts to get a feel for what is going on in the country while it provides its members a business network to keep a connection among the major business leaders."

"I would say that besides providing great networking opportunities, the program also keeps us informed on recent political and economical movements with reasonable depth, through direct insights from parties involved (e.g. government officials and politicians), not just from the media."

"ICP produces regular reports on Indonesia and Asia-Pacific which are very useful information to better understand the political, market and business outlook, financial and monetary policy as well as helping us during forecasting and budget preparation."

"CastleAsia's Indonesia Country Program offers all involved credible political and economic analysis from a team that really knows the territory and regular opportunity to meet with peers across a wide variety of business sectors. The breakfast discussions are open, frank, informative and almost always bring out some new insight. Not least, ICP gatherings foster a welcome sense of community."

"I find the CastleAsia country program more on target in terms of integrating the politics, policies of all the key constituencies driving Indonesia to come up with a unified forecast for the country. What helps is that Jim has been around for a long time and understands the culture quite intimately, besides having some consultants who keep very close tabs on what's up in the key corridors of power. The outlook ends up being more balanced, helping me and my business unit make better quality decisions to stay ahead in this emerging market of the future."

"In managing an Indonesian based business it is easy to understand the difficulties your business is faced with but difficult to find out if you are alone in experiencing these difficulties.  The ICP program has been invaluable in helping me to understand those issues many foreign enterprises have to face here in Indonesia.  Perhaps more importantly, it provides an opportunity to share one's own experiences and learn from others about the possible solutions to the problems foreign enterprises come across in this part of the world."

"In developing countries such as Indonesia, CastleAsia's ICP program is a valuable resource in assisting Kraft to keep up-to-date with all the significant commercial and economic issues plus it affords a great opportunity to network with leading industry players. One always leaves one of Jim's sessions feeling much better informed about the key issues driving business in Indonesia today." 

"Meaningful and timely discussions about what is happening, with informed and engaged peers in Business. Great analysis from ICP along with short summaries from Experts in the region. Personal consultations and access to the Senior Leaders at ICP, for advice on specific Business Issues."

"ICP has valuable input for every business leader in Indonesia. The discussions in the breakfast sessions give ideal benchmark opportunities!"

"The ICP program is a very useful program for me as a country manager of Rohm and Haas Company in Indonesia, the most important information source on business, economy, political and the security situation in Indonesia. I use ICP to update the Rohm and Haas Asia Pacific Region as well as the Global Leadership Team.  After more than 10 years as a member in the program, I conclude that the information provided by ICP is credible and accurate."

"I have found the Indonesia Country Program very useful as it provides us with 'live' insights to the business environment and gives us an opportunity to talk to similar companies and CastleAsia experts on current business performance and challenges."

"ICP provides a comprehensive view of the dynamic issues facing Indonesia. Its insightful perspectives and forecasts are invaluable to our planning - short and long term."

"I very much value our membership with ICP. In particular I would like to mention the usual very quick response to any political and economic events taking place in Indonesia. Another very efficient source of information are the very well organized breakfast meetings with top business men which are conducted in a professional and relaxed atmosphere."
