Objective: With bold growth ambitions and an expanding project pipeline, this ASX-listed business needed to scale up without slowing down. The challenge was clear: grow fast, lift quality and governance, and preserve the agility that had become a hallmark of their success. They needed a fit-for-purpose strategy and clear, consistent processes to support sustainable, confident growth.

Approach: Catalyst Strategy was engaged to lead a multi-phase uplift. We began by facilitating the development of a Functional Evolution Strategy anchored around three core pillars: People, Process, and Technology. This strategic foundation aligned the priorities, focus areas, and capability development with the corporate growth agenda.

We then mapped end-to-end processes, collaborating with subject matter experts to document current practices, surface pain points, and define improvements. A suite of human-centred, best-practice process maps was developed, covering all stages from project or acquisition identification through to construction and operational handover. These artefacts became the foundation for digital enablement.

Next, Catalyst Strategy scoped, designed, and led the build of a customised enterprise-grade workflow platform using SmartSuite, a secure no-code solution. This platform now supports workflows for:

• Project identification and feasibility assessment

• Contract negotiation

• Due diligence and acquisition

• Project management and construction delivery

• Internal approvals and compliance

• Document management, stakeholder tracking, and reporting

Each workflow is embedded with resources, automations, and practical guidance to promote quality, consistency, and ease of use. The platform also enables real-time visibility, streamlined collaboration, and improved executive reporting.

Positive Impact: This integrated uplift has delivered measurable improvements in efficiency, assurance, and stakeholder confidence. Key outcomes include:

• A clear, shared strategic direction that supports sustainable growth

• Codified best-practice processes that accelerate onboarding and enable assurance

• A digital workflow platform that streamlines delivery and increases accuracy

• Strong engagement and adoption, supported by user-centric design

• Improved governance, audit trails, visibility, and reporting for executive stakeholders

By combining strategic clarity, process rigour, and practical digital enablement, the organisation is now positioned to scale with confidence and deliver value at pace.
