@nando161 the overlap suggests some minor alignment. “Leave room for an Angel”

@nando161 with so little overlap, the values aren't even the initial letters of each word. It's maybe "I", but that's about all that fits :)

@KatS @nando161 having some experience with this company (now rebranded as lseg), and having seen sales people throw engineers under the bus (I was the client, ended up defending the engineer from their own people!), it wouldn’t shock me.

A slide from a Thomson Reuters presentation. At left, a large orange circle with the words Trust, Partnership, Innovation, Performance (one word per line)

At right, a small yellow circle with the words OUR VALUES.

There is a very small overlap between the circles, making it appear to be a Venn diagram with very little overlap between the words at left and the values at right.
