Let's get your business past firefighting & bottlenecks to sustainable growth

You've mastered what you do.
Now Your Growth Plans Require a New Level of Organisation.

That's where Catalyst & Co comes in.

What we Hear from small service business owners:

“The business is doing well and ready to scale.
But, behind the scenes, it all feels dependent on me.
I’m stuck in an endless cycle of busyness and reacting to urgent problems.
Figuring anything new out, or being strategic, feels overwhelming and beyond me just now.

It's not that the business isn't successful. It absolutely is and I have a great team. There are just no systems. Everything behind the scenes demands constant monitoring, double-checking and trouble-shooting instead of running smoothly on its own.

I’ve had enough of it but I don’t have the time or know how to sort it all out.”

Catalyst & Co does.

Catalyst & Co - Business Operations

Are your day-to-day business operations holding you back?

Workflow issues may show up as:

  • Long days are filled with ‘busy’, repetitive tasks.

  • Stress levels are high at least 75% of the time.

  • It takes ages to get anything done as bottlenecks and resistance consistently slow progress down.

  • Your team are more likely to work in silos than together.

  • No one can make a final decision without you.

  • Competitors pull ahead while you're solving other issues.

  • Good ideas, improvements and opportunities wait because the current set-up can't handle them or is too outdated.

  • Strategic, big-picture thinking gets pushed to next month, quarter or next year…

  • Consistent ‘anything’ is impossible.

  • Profit margins decrease and expenses increase.

  • Growth is stalled. You feel stifled.

Achieving Transformation Takes 3 Key Steps

Whether it’s an initial assessment or a 6-month project, our methodology to achieve change and growth is the same.

01 / Discover

The question stage: Together we discuss your ambitions, current situation, resources and opportunities. We look at the business dynamics, processes and culture to identify the underlying causes, patterns and connections.

02 / decide

The planning stage: We map how you work, design new workflows and identify supporting resources and changes. Everything lines up with your unique priorities, ensuring long-term, sustainable growth and adapatability.

03 / Do

The implementation stage: Work through your transformation action list, adapting and trouble-shooting along the way. Catalyst can provide your preferred level of support — whether that's high level guidance and accountability, or hands-on help and full project management.
