The Catalyst Method: Three Phases from Vision to Reality

We don't believe in theoretical reports that gather dust. We believe in co-created action. Our structured method, designed from 20 years of field experience, is the bridge between your current challenge and the institutional future you aspire to.

Phase 1: Diagnosis of the Strategic Archetype

Before acting, we understand. We conduct an in-depth analysis to uncover the unique potential (the "Archetype") of your university. We identify critical leverage points and align your senior leadership around a shared vision and a clear starting point.

Phase 2: The Catalyst Immersion & The 90-Day Roadmap

This is where vision becomes tactics. In an intensive, collaborative session with your leadership team, we translate the diagnosis into priority decisions. The tangible result is a personalized 90-Day Transformation Roadmap—an executive document with clear objectives, measurable milestones, and defined action owners.

A plan is only valuable if it is executed. We support the launch of the first key initiatives, acting as facilitators to remove obstacles. Our ultimate focus is capacity transfer, strengthening your internal team to continue progress autonomously and sustainably.

Phase 3: Implementation with Capacity Building

Projects

Our method applies to the critical areas that define a university of excellence in the 21st century:
