Portfolio of 3-4 Fully Developed Innovation Strategies
Not concepts or directions — complete strategies with implementation steps, resource requirements, risk assessments, and success metrics.
Turn Uncertainty Into Strategy. Build a Full Innovation Portfolio in 4 Hours.
The world is volatile. Your competitors are guessing. You need more than one bet — you need a portfolio of 3-4 clear strategic directions you can pursue with confidence. Not ideas. Fully developed strategies with owners, timelines, and implementation plans.
Book a Catalyst →The Problem It Solves
The riskiest thing you can do is commit to a single strategic direction.
In a fast-moving environment, organizations that survive volatility aren't the ones that made the right single bet — they're the ones that maintained multiple viable moves.
Most leadership teams don't have a portfolio of strategies. They have a single roadmap, built on assumptions that may already be outdated, with no structured plan for what happens when conditions change. A Catalyst session builds that portfolio in a single day.

Is a Catalyst Right for You?
A Catalyst works best when:
✓
You're facing a significant strategic decision or market shift
✓
Leadership needs alignment on where to place bets — not just a list of ideas
✓
You want to stress-test your direction before committing budget
✓
Your board or leadership team needs a structured view of your strategic options
Common questions.
Can we run a Catalyst remotely?
Yes. The Catalyst session involves group ideation and breakout team work, both of which translate well to video collaboration tools. In-person sessions have an advantage during the final group presentations — the energy when teams present their full strategies is genuinely useful. But remote Catalyst sessions produce comparable strategic outputs.
What preparation is needed before the session?
We run a pre-session briefing (60-90 minutes with a small group of senior leaders) to understand the strategic context, identify the landscape your team needs to read, and set the scope for the ideation session. Your team doesn't need to come with pre-formed strategies — the session is designed to generate and develop them in the room.
What happens to the portfolio after the session?
Each strategy leaves the session with owners, timelines, and resource requirements — ready to take to your board or leadership team. The most common next step is a quarterly strategic review cycle to stress-test the strategies against changing conditions. If you want ongoing support keeping the portfolio relevant as the landscape shifts, that moves into Advisory.
Can the strategies be adapted if market conditions change?
That's precisely the point. A portfolio of strategies is more resilient to change than a single roadmap. When conditions shift, you reassess which directions are worth continuing, which need adjustment, and which should be paused — without abandoning your strategic position entirely. The Catalyst framework is designed for adaptation, not commitment to a fixed path.
