The Catalyst Group's strength comes from its unique ability to understand how technology change affects business planning and ultimately drives strategy.

Technology breakthroughs often create the impetus to allow competitors to act and thereby change the industry's business paradigms. It is essential to both identify and understand what future technology breakthroughs are expected in order to correctly assess the impact on business. The Catalyst Group does both: we work with clients to develop new science at the bench level, as well as assess for them the impacts of new technology.

The Catalyst Group's assignments are typically a blend of technology impact, process economics, and market and business strategic analyses. The work can be performed in separate phases or may be all-encompassing.

Proprietary Managed Research Program

The Catalyst Group develops R&D driven solutions for its clients on a proprietary basis, often utilizing client laboratory facilities or subcontracted services. We are often able to add considerable value to the results of such R&D programs because we are able to manage the program in a scientifically unbiased way, bringing additional internal expertise to the program.
