“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.”

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.
