Process Redesign
We were the catalyst for a cultural shift at a global membership organisation in the construction industry, reshaping their approach to change management and delivering numerous high-impact projects.
The client initially commissioned us to project manage two IT workstreams, but quickly realised that working with Catalysis was an opportunity to transform their strategic approach through structure and standardisation.
Our outsourced Project Management Office service provided the solution they were looking for, combining operational delivery with strategic leadership focused on quality and compliance.
We have supported a range of digital transformation projects designed to increase engagement with the client’s international membership, as well as reduce costs and introduce more efficient workflows.
Examples of projects include the implementation of a global CRM solution to enhance sales processes and improve data integrity, and digitalisation of training management systems used all over the world.
Working with staff and members in countries all over the world requires cultural sensitivity and ongoing partnership working to ensure projects can be delivered in multiple languages.
Underpinning the work of project teams, our Project Management Office introduced a pragmatic range of systems and standards designed to increase the organisation’s project and programme management maturity through a more methodical and rigorous approach.
The Head of Finance and IT from the organisation says:
“Catalysis has become a key partner for us in delivering for our members and modernising the way we work.
“As a long-established membership organisation we needed a keen external eye to look at what we were doing, unpick the threads of various long-standing activities and systems, and help us to become more responsive to the needs of our members.
“Since we started working with Catalysis the pace of change has increased. Catalysis helped to improve our data management, and established automated systems that have made us more efficient. We feel the benefits of this work everyday through improved services, cost savings, and - most importantly - better experiences for our members.”
Stepping in to deliver a major NHS intranet project

Quality assurance
We specialise in working with SMEs, but bring wide-ranging experience that includes delivering change for large public
sector bodies.
A large NHS Trust commissioned Catalysis to manage the launch of a new intranet to serve its 6,000+ staff.
The Trust’s in-house communications team had awarded a contract to a specialist NHS web development agency to provide the new intranet platform.
However, the team lacked capacity to effectively manage the project alongside its other ‘business as usual’ internal and external communications responsibilities.
We were asked to project manage the launch of the new intranet site, acting as a link between the communications team, the Trust’s numerous clinical teams and support services, and the intranet developers to coordinate content and deliver the project on time.
Our key task was working with individual Trust teams to plan functionality and refresh intranet content. The content aspect presented a particular challenge due to the sprawling amount of legacy content that had built up on the old intranet over many years - requiring detailed work with teams to establish what remained relevant and ensure the accuracy of the new site.
As well as coordinating the build of the site, we also oversaw the quality assurance and testing process - a crucial aspect of ensuring clinicians had access to comprehensive and accurate information in order to deliver services safely and meet stringent NHS compliance expectations.
The project was delivered on schedule, with strong positive feedback from the Trust’s Head of Communications, who wrote:
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for your project management expertise in getting the intranet over the line. You did a great job in mapping out the project, keeping us in the loop and in your liaison between our teams and the web developer. I will always keep you in mind for future projects.”
