Overview
One of the most significant challenges being faced by organizations is putting right people in the right role in the right time. The Catalyst uses a range of offline and online simulations to assess talent based on given organizational competencies whether hiring from outside or promoting within.
The Catalyst Simulations can be customised for any industry. During the simulation, the participants are immersed in a situation facing business challenges similar to the one they would face at work.
Experiential Exercises
During the simulation, some of the experiential exercises that would be involved are:
- Formulating and presenting their Strategy for driving the business
- Making real-time Decisions to drive the Execution of their Strategy
- Create the Foundation to support the Change required to Drive the Business forward
- Motivate and Inspire Teams to Succeed through Ambiguity, Uncertainty, Volatility and Complexity
Assessed Competencies
Some of the competencies which can be assessed through our online and offline simulations are:
- Team Leadership
- Managing Change
- Time Management & Prioritization
- Planning & Organizing
- Creative Thinking
- Collaboration
- Negotiation
Our Simulations
Some online and offline simulations used by The Catalyst for Talent Assessment are:
MTa Learning
Tactile simulation games based on MTa Learning Tools are flexible and adaptive and can be used to assess a range of competencies from time management, change management to team leadership and decision making.
Toy Factory
The Participants are divided into teams of 4-5 each. Each team showcases their manufacturing capabilities by doing toy production of the 4 given toy designs in the stipulated time. Each team member will play the role of a Product Head turn by turn and will be responsible for manufacturing of toys of one design each. The other members will play the role of the production staff and follow instructions of the product head. Disruptions are introduced to challenge them at regular intervals.
Mechanix
The Participants are divided into groups of 4 each. Their objective is to create a required model/ prototype specified in the game. The game progresses through 4 stages. Various challenges are introduced at different levels. Team that showcases best production capacity in line with the requirement and adhering to quality standards emerges as the winning team.
Master Chef
The Participants are divided into groups of 4-5. Each team has to cook up a given recipe with the given ingredients. Some of the critical ingredients are available with other teams which they need to collect through influencing and collaboration. Various other challenges are introduced at different stages which push teams to think creatively and collaboratively to emerge as a winner.
The First Quarter
The First Quarter is an online simulation used for assessing leadership capabilities on three critical parameters of Business, People and Customer. It can be played as both individual as well as team game where participants need to take some crucial decisions pertaining to day to day challenges of a leader in his/her role.
Farming for Growth
This is an online simulation where teams compete with one another to acquire a high profile client. Competencies like building trust with clients, negotiating for win-win outcomes and agility come to the fore.
Methodology
Simulations are designed to assess specific competencies. The simulation content, roles and examples are customised based on the need of the client. Standard assessment and observation sheets are created for recording observations and to eliminate bias in the assessment process. Certified assessors are used for running the simulation and are trained on the tool being used and the competencies which are to be assessed.

I have had a chance to work with The Catalyst Training on a couple of capability development projects for PVM India. They bring a lot of depth to the initial brainstorming sessions, which help us identify the right training needs for our people, resulting in creation of apt programs for the organization.
The Catalyst team truly partners with the participant group, leadership and learning advisors at every stage of the program design and delivery, creating impactful sessions which benefit not just the participants with the classroom learning, but also strengthen their understanding of concepts in the long-term, giving true value to “capability development”!

There are very people who give you the trust n confidence of understanding your organisation’s need and delivering a program how you would have envisioned it…that’s precisely what Priti did ! With a small brief of building a business communication skills program for a diverse pool of factory employees across grades, experience, functions, locations n culture, Priti was able to turn it around in a short time and deliver the 3 month intervention across our sites extremely well with great stakeholder feedback. Even more commendable was how she ensured the post session processes were closed and we didn’t stop till all success metrics were tracked and achieved.

Factory HR Manager, GSK -
I had worked with Priti few years ago in the area of capability development of Sales Field Force. Priti brought in strong conviction and articulation based on her sales experience, which was critical to the success of the initiative. Her ability to build trust with participants in the workshop and expand their thinking to considering new ways of working – was brilliant.

The Catalyst has been instrumental in working with the L&D team of MMTC-PAMP to develop and deliver Leadership Development journeys for a group of 60 emerging leaders. There have been visible positive outcomes from these journeys which contributed not only in many intangible ways but also led to measurable business results. I highly appreciate her sincerity in understanding the needs of the organization well and collaboratively customizing solutions. Her involvement throughout the intervention has been incredible. The team created innovative workshops based on experiential learning, which involved the participants throughout with no dull moments. These workshops were focused on objectives and beautifully come together with action plans in the end. It has been a pleasure to work with The Catalyst and I look forward to more.

I like that the session includes various exercises on how to deal with situations commonly occurring in the professional environment. It helps me to understand what would be an ideal approach to take in such situations. The content was very relevant to us and the session in my view, was quiet impactful and has left food for thought.
