“Over the past 18 months we have developed a strong, positive working relationship with Catalyst with a huge emphasis on transferring Lean Six Sigma skills and knowledge into the business. Catalyst’s friendly and flexible approach makes them easy to work with.”

Wayne Fischer, Head of Process Excellence

Aegon

I have been very impressed with the Catalyst approach to Lean Six Sigma Training & Deployment support. They have a fun, practical, and very rigorous style of training delivery from which we all benefited. They were able to make it very real for our business and as a consequence we have delivered very impressive results from our initial waves of projects. More than this, they have provided high quality mentoring and coaching of our Master Black Belts which has given us real insights into how we can best deploy and manage the Lean Six Sigma implementation to achieve greatest impact in our complex business environment. Thank you, Catalyst, for the work you have done so far with us on what is hopefully the start of a long and productive relationship.”

Kathryn Phillips, Head of Process Improvement, People and Organisation Development

Royal Mail

Catalyst have given us excellent support in designing a programme that is tailored to fit our values and business needs. They have been particularly useful in helping us think about how to make the programme sustainable and the reaction to their initial training has been to create a very strong ‘pull’ from the operations to get more people involved.”

Geert Bruyneel, Director Quality Care

Volvo Cars

I enjoyed working with Catalyst, they offered and delivered an excellent and flexible training program over a 3 month period.”

Gary Kendall

Airbus

There are any number of companies providing Six Sigma consultancy and training. Catalyst were unique in being able to provide material tailored to the Financial Services industry, and consultants who have relevant, practical experience that they could relate to people in different roles and at all levels. Their style is supportive, but not condescending, and they bring a touch of humour that is refreshing when considering applied statistics!

Estelle Clark, Quality Director

Financial Ombudsman Service

It was good to hear from personal experiences of different deployments in different industries and cultures. A good mix of talk and exercises and a good informal approach where we were all free to contribute and share best practice. Really liked the focus in on some of the ‘softer’ skills required.
