Catalest is a global design consultancy focused on organizational innovation and growth. Connecting goodness is our gift.

In chemistry, a catalyst is an agent that sparks or accelerates significant change.

At Catalest, we spark and accelerate change in organizations—but we’ve modified our spelling slightly.

From the root words cata and lest, our name means “through risk,” which encapsulates our approach as change agents. Achieving organizational growth often means overcoming formidable challenges—silos, scale, capacity issues, leadership priorities and budget constraints—and alongside our clients, we navigate through these risks to achieve the change needed for each organization to grow and thrive.

 

Catalest designs customized and practical solutions to connect existing goodness in your organization. We add value to your business through the following core elements:

PEOPLE

Our team of established executives know how to navigate complexity, simplify outcomes, establish trust and garner great results.

PROCESS

We don’t prescribe. We listen to, understand, and meet you where you are, while helping you focus on where you want to go.

PARTNERSHIP

We get to know the people we serve to ensure we serve them well, investing the time and energy to understand our clients’ full scope of needs.

PRACTICALITY

Our strategic solutions are designed to work in real life, under real circumstances. We focus on processes that are feasible, effective and rooted in reality.
