Turning Your
Business Operations
into a Strategic
Performance Tool

How your business operates shapes what it is capable of achieving.

LEARN MORE

Catalyst & Co helps SME business owner-managers move forward when something in their business is stuck, messy, avoided, unclear, unknown or too much.

Working together, we get clarity on what is happening now, identify what needs to change, and how to implement and leverage their operating system to achieve stronger business performance.

What’s the link between strategy, operations
and performance?

Operations are not just admin. They are the engine of a business.

The start and end point is different for every business, and every project.

Find Out More

  • We start with what’s happening now. I listen. You fill me in. I ask questions.

    If we need more in-depth information, I can carry out an Operational Review, gathering feedback at individual, team or company level. I get immersed in the business, to understand your desired outcome, and to identify what is impacting progress or performance. From this, I generate an Insights & Recommendations Report.

    Services: Operations Reviews · Custom Insights Report · Recommendations Plan

  • This is where we work out what needs to change or be actioned.

    The report is our guide. Strategic operations means looking at how the different parts of the business interact, and what combination of changes will improve the outcome. We need to identify the combination that will achieve the results you want, alongside developing a sustainable foundation for the business going forward.

    Services: Mentoring · Thinking Partner · Masterminds

  • We make it happen. From project management to creating a team to help support and execute the changes, Catalyst & Co can partner with you to navigate all the steps, ensuring you get the results you want. Each implementation plan is customised to the client’s specific budget, timeline, KPIs and needs.

How We Find A Way Forward

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

Meet Gemma O’Halloran

I’ve spent more than 20 years working in entrepreneurial, fast-moving environments where things are rarely neat or straightforward.

I know that a business owner can see or feel that something is not working long before the source of the issue is obvious.

I’m someone you can get real and honest with. I’ll listen, take your perspective and the situation seriously, while looking at how the different pieces fit together to help you find a practical way forward.

This inter-connection between strategic thinking, operational understanding and effective implementation is at the core of Catalyst & Co and how I find solutions for my clients.
