Risk Management
Catalyst Management Consulting provides experience and strategies to help organizations manage
risks. Our capabilities include:
- Risk
Clinics
- Catalyst's risk clinic is a structured process to help a
project team to identify risks, assess them, develop response plans, and implement responses. Outputs are risk
response lists and issues lists, captured in an database. Project risk clinics are a very effective
practice and can include both customers and developers. An article
tells you what participants can expect in a Catalyst risk clinic. We can also
tailor our Risk Clinic
Facilitator's Guide to your organization. You can review a draft
chapter of Risk Management Practices
for NPD Programs, published in April 2002 by John Wiley and Sons in the PDMA
Toolbook for New Product Development.
- Strategic
Decision Support
- Catalyst has experience in helping to clarify
risk elements and developing decision
trees for important decisions and for strategic
planning. Working with the client, we investigate the situation,
identify all relevant parameters, analyze and evaluate assumptions, and develop
measures to guide the identification of a rational, defensible
approach.
