We are proud of, and humbled by, the feedback of our clients.  You can find out more about these client outcomes and others by reviewing our case studies.

Read Case Studies

"It was very rich and insightful, and my initial perception is that the Masterclass was exceptional. The speakers were very knowledgeable, approachable and inviting to participate. At no point there was a wrong or right answer, but a psychological process of how we got to that conclusion – which I found fascinating. I took away valuable lessons to apply to my role in supporting coherent decision making, but also for myself in how I approach my own decisions."

Masterclass participant from Air New Zealand

"The Type 26 Global Combat Ship will be a multi-mission warship designed for joint and multinational operations… and will play a major role in the defence of this country for many years."

Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope, GCB, OBE, ADC, DL, First Sea Lord (Retd), UK Royal Navy

"The Defence Mid-Point Rebalancing Review (DMRR) process was robust, analytically sound, and data-driven. It has been identified as an exemplar for other Government departments to follow."

Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman, Minister of Defence and Minister of State Services

"From previous experience with Catalyze, I’ve come to ‘trust the process’…which resulted in good healthy discussions amongst the range of stakeholders present and a product that we can use for our future business needs."

Bob Alkema, Managing Director, New Zealand Transport Agency

"I feel I have a much broader appreciation of the perspectives and concerns of other stakeholders. I also understand the complex nature of the decision being faced."

Shell Workshop Participant

“The Catalyze process really helped us map our future. Through their guidance we garnered wide, meaningful participation in the process resulting in a clear long term strategic plan.”

Kevin Tso, Chief Executive, Victim Support

“The process [Catalyze ran] was excellent and we are committed to further refining it and embedding it into our planning and decision making processes going forward. For the first time, we have been in a position to make prioritisation decisions against a robust methodology centred around what we’re seeking to achieve across the system and our strategic priorities.”

Pete Miskimmin, Chief Executive, Sport NZ

“Any conversation about ADHD with the health sector will be complicated and complex, especially when it is 20 years overdue. Catalyze and Edward Poot did a fantastic job offering a fresh perspective to the challenge and actually made it seem so easy. The workshop was simple and thoughtful and it achieved the impossible, a whole-of-sector response. While there is much work to be done, such a great start is key to its success. Thank you so much for your support.”

Darrin Bull, Chairperson, ADHD New Zealand board

What’s in a name?
