Management Consulting

Working closely with clients—from the boardroom to the front line—identifying areas in which processes can be streamlined or enhanced to provide the maximum effectiveness and efficiency possible. Whether it is a fresh pair of eyes, a fresh pair of hands, or just a fresh idea or two, sometimes an organization needs a different perspective to help them improve their operations. Catalyst brings that “freshness” to every engagement.

Management Consulting services offered by Catalyst include:

Program/Project Management

Whether it's a single project or a multi-million-dollar Enterprise Project/Program Management Office (ePMO), Catalyst consultants utilize proven management techniques to ensure smooth and effective operation. With several PMI-certified Project Management Professionals on our staff, we bring seasoned, senior-level leadership and industry-standard best practices to our engagements.

Independent Project Oversight (IPO)

Projects come in various sizes and levels of criticality and require different levels of oversight. Catalyst IPO experts can help you determine the level of oversight your project may need to reduce the risk of project failure, budget overruns, or schedule slips. In short, we will keep our finger on the pulse of your project, provide you with a project “health report,” and support the project team to efficiently and effectively realize project objectives.

Quality Assurance

Meeting your expectations is not good enough. Catalyst consultants strive to exceed your expectations and we do just that by “planning, doing, checking, and acting.” We plan how we will achieve the desired result by establishing appropriate processes; we do by implementing those processes; we check the process by testing the results against the objectives; and we act by applying any actions necessary for improvement. The result...a quality product, every time.

Training

When implementing a new system or process it is essential that staff receive sufficient training. Training coupled with appropriate support tools will allow users to reinforce their training once they are working in the new environment. Catalyst recognizes training as an essential component of addressing the human-focused needs that are encountered in preparation for and during system implementation. Catalyst offers numerous training options and works with each client to determine the approach that best suits their needs.

Organizational Change Management

Change is inevitable—whether it is changing technology, processes, or people. Often times business leaders and employees have opposing views of change. Leaders view it as beneficial, while employees view it as burdensome. Catalyst’s Organizational Change Management experts can help bridge the gap between these two points by aligning expectations, opening lines of communication, and integrating teams all while minimizing disruption to business.

Business Process Reengineering

Sometimes the current way of doing things is not the best way, even when you’ve been doing it that way for years. Catalyst Business Process Reengineering experts help you rethink and redesign the way your organization is structured and how it delivers goods and services to customers. By analyzing the information throughput of a process, a department or entire organization can determine areas where cost-effective improvements might benefit the organization.
