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.
