How we work

"Catalyst" working methods

Let's clarify this right away because it's what everyone wants to know:

​

Why the "Catalysts" co. ?

​

"The "Catalyst typically speeds up a reaction by reducing the energy needed or changing the mechanism of the reaction. "

"The Catalyst bonds the different elements together in order to generate new outcomes and have a new fresh situation with new elements. "

QED. 

​

​

"Catalysing" social & environmental projects is, by definition, creating or improving the impacts of your actions... with less. 

A kind of project booster.

​

How does it actually work ?

We listen and observe.

​

We ask questions, to gain a better understanding of the existing situation, in its entirety: the ecosystem, the history, the "why?", the methods, etc.

We step ahead. We use our "fresh eyes". We bring different perspectives. We open new doors.

We listen again. 

​

We combine the right people, the right tools and the right conditions to create innovative solutions.
​

We listen. Yes, again.

​

We support the evolution of ideas, using our field knowledge and experience.

We maintain the focus on long-term impacts. 

We celebrate brilliant ways of achieving more with less. Less energy, fewer resources, less time, less money, less process for more impact.

​

We keep listening.

​

We stick beside you throughout all the steps. Before, during and after.
We support the implementation of simple, frugal, creative ideas.

Inclusiveness

We are deeply committed to a more sustainable, more diverse and thus more inclusive society that supports the most disadvantaged and excluded.

We firmly believe that those who cannot express themselves today are the inspiration and inventors of tomorrow.

​

​

For this reason, we have an integrational, participative approach, with strong community involvement building bridges and making connections between different actors: communities, the corporate world, nonprofits, governments, institutions and individuals.

It is essential to involve all actors, but it is even more important that these actors reflect the local reality and diversity.

​

​

So, we want to work with “you” as a company or organization but also "you" as a person, as a member of a family, as a citizen, as an ethical professional, as a dreamer, as a person with values, as an actor of tomorrow.

A "catalyst" of change.

 

Positive

We are realistic because we are experienced and, consequently, we are very positive because we know from experience that what we do will impact.

We talk about solutions not problems.

We target the future. We believe in tomorrow and we believe in the actors of tomorrow.
 

Agility is the key

Catalysts must be agile throughout the process of innovation. Indeed, agility stems from adaptability and creativity. 

​

The main idea is to stay alert and flexible, responding quickly to changes at any stage of the project, even anticipating the changes ahead. 

​

In our working methods,

• we divide the tasks into short, efficient steps 

• we deliver outcomes promptly and regularly 

• we put people and relations first

• we collaborate and work as a "team" with our clients

• we don't have just one plan but multiple plans that evolve with needs
