Catalytic Governance
Catalytic Governance is based on the insight that effective leadership and governance in the information age depend less on traditional top-down approaches and more on creating shared meanings and frameworks.
Catalytic Governance is an approach to transformational change, more than process, it leads transformational change that engages a wide range of stakeholders in dialogue and empowers them to envisage and enact a desired future.
In collaboration with world leading dialogue and scenarios design experts, Pat facilitates the end-to-end process for revolutionary change in an evolutionary manner. The team works with the organization and its stakeholders to transform the entity onto a sustainable path to adjust to disruptive changes in its environment.

Patricia Meredith, Steven A. Rosell, Ged Davis
Thanks to the Internet, like-minded people can now organize with ease, and as a result, more groups and organizations are demanding a voice in issues of governance. The traditional, top-down model of governance-in which a few render judgments and the masses fall in line-is increasingly being rejected, and we are seeing an exertion of influence by people who feel excluded from traditional governance structures. Exhibits A and B: the Brexit vote and the unlikely triumph of Donald Trump. The authors describe a new approach to governance called 'Catalytic Governance'. By following its five steps, leaders can better engage stakeholders, find common ground, build trust, and frame and re- frame issues- leading to a common plan from which to take collaborative action.
