The Catalyst Perspectives Group

Why Us?

The Catalyst Perspectives Group is composed of like-minded, independent consultants and service providers who offer a comprehensive and complementary range of expertise and skills.

We provide the single point of contact that links a small to medium sized organization to the insights and resources needed for sustained growth and success. We operate as an independent expert, focusing on the needs of our client.

The Catalyst Perspectives Group serves our clients effectively by providing new perspectives that form the catalyst for change.

Our experience, skills and connections are able to provide an external perspective that the client is missing and yet needs to remove internal barriers and accomplish the change necessary for success.
What we do and what we deliver for a client initiates and expedites the actions and creates tangible results that change the perspective for the client's organization by making an immediate difference in how they view the world and how the world views them.
Most significantly, we transfer skills, a way of thinking and performing and the ability and commitment to view things from different perspectives that enable the organization to discover and exploit new perspectives that positions the organization to improve and grow continuously.

When the goal is to transfer critical skills, a typical CPG client-engagement has two parts and can be thought of as the “lecture” and “lab” of a traditional science course. The lecture provides the theory and the lab allows the learner to apply and test the theory and achieve actual results. From this perspective, there are distinct outcomes that should be expected for the participants and the company:

The Overview Workshop incorporates a blended approach to skill-acquisition that leverages the benefits of different learning-styles with a direct “hands-on” learning component. The overview workshop, presents the “intellectual” framework for the skill and process being presented and provides participants their first opportunity to try parts of the method out for themselves. Participants are expected to attend all sessions and, working with a partner, prepare and present a “demonstration”. Participants are not “graded” during the workshop. However, each participant receives an assessment of their demonstration.
Implementation Projects are a required and crucial part of every client-engagement. As a practical matter, the warm and fuzzy feelings that arise within participants during the Overview Workshop, create the foundation for applying the skill but, additional practice in a setting that includes active support and coaching are required to complete the transfer of the skill. The objective is to enable the participant to express the skill on a sustained and continuously improving basis. Moreover, because the Implementation Projects are selected to address key areas for improvement within the organization, the engagement produces positive and mission-critical outcomes.

Cellular Organization: An Overview

Organisms are highly organized, coordinated structures that consist of one or more cells. Even single-celled organisms are remarkably complex. In multi-cellular organisms similar cells form tissues, tissues create organs that work together forming organ systems.

Metabolism and Energy-processing

All organisms use a source of energy for their metabolic activities. Some organisms capture energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy; others use chemical energy in molecules they take in as food.

Growth and Development

Metabolism and Energy-processing

Organisms grow and develop following specific instructions coded for by their genes. Growth is the increase in size and mass of that organism. Development involves the transformation of the organism as it goes through a process which causes changes in their cells.
