Our Approach

At CATALYST4, we believe that each organisation we work with is unique. Therefore, we work hard to understand your needs before providing a solution.  We think we do our best work when we work together to:

 

  • Understand what you really need, and what’s unique about the situation you find yourself in.
  • Appreciate what you’ve already done.
  • Structure multiple touch-points across time to embed change.
  • Create solutions that build strategic and emotional intelligence.

From our clients

I have had the pleasure of working with Peter Blyde since 2006. The programme’s on going sustainability is testimony to the excellent content and delivery provided. His commitment and expertise with leadership is evident in many ways including being very intentional with programme capability requirements, relating well with a range of senior participants and stakeholders, challenging participants to step outside of known comfort zones, working with his client to ensure maximum benefits from the programme, and evaluating, changing and improving the programme.

They are true partners, working in collaboration to understand the unique challenges and needs of the client and to bring solutions that are research-driven and best-practice, yet packaged in a way that will resonate with the target audience.

GMHR Global Consumer & Foodservice, Fonterra

As the founding Chief Executive of the New Zealand Leadership Institute, I’ve worked closely with Peter for over 10 years and seen first-hand his work with executives across NZ.  He’s credible and engaging with senior executive audiences, has a depth of insight into what leadership really is, and has a distinctive ability to design and deliver leadership development experiences that make a difference.  Having seen and worked with many people in leadership development, I regard Peter as one of the best and am happy to recommend him.
