Abstract

Outlines the techniques for the Catalytic Empowerment process. Catalytic Empowerment evolved out of consulting practices that take unprofitable companies in the crisis of going out of business and make them healthy, profitable companies very quickly. The techniques are a source for transformational results. The consultant brings certain characteristics and training into an organization. The Catalytic Empowerment consultant is the model and vehicle by which empowerment is transferred into all areas of the organization. The example and training that the consultant provides causes a chain reaction of empowerment, transformation and dramatic results to take place. This is transferred into all levels and it transforms the very culture of the organization.
