Assessments
The best organizations base decisions on facts .
Catalyst is a trusted resource for developing a "true" picture
of the situation.
Catalyst brings experience
and tools that help clients make good decisions by investigating,
researching, and discovering the true nature of the situation. Our
strength is diagnosis for implementation. We feed back data to clients and help
develop practicable action plans. Our focus is
RESULTS, NOT REPORTS.
- Evaluations of Portfolio Management
- When organizations are looking to determine their priorities, they
often choose the strategies of portfolio
management. As a part of our portfolio development
capabilities, we help organizations look at the "big picture."
- Process Evaluations - Opportunities for Improvement
- We help map the "as is" and disconnects (for use in
"to be" definitions) and have done so for resource
management, new product
development processes, accounting processes, decision making
processes, and other organizational processes. Catalyst can probe the organization for the opportunities and
barriers (including root causes) that lead to improved speed, quality, and results.
- Individual Project and Program Evaluations
- Catalyst has performed a number of "health check"
evaluations of projects that are in progress. We have a
proprietary evaluation instrument, the Project Performance
Assurance Assessment ® to evaluate per nine critical areas of
project management performance. For collecting data, we can use any or
all of techniques like 1:1 interview, facilitated group discussion, or
analysis of documents.
- Organizational Capability Maturity
- We help you create a way to systematically improve the capabilities
of your organization to integrate the work of others into projects and
programs and to deliver bottom line results.
- Benchmarking
- We can provide you external benchmark data and linkages to
benchmarking partners.
Catalyst brings experience in
applying assessments for the purpose of improving organizational
performance.
