What is Business Agility Catalyst?
An evidence-based way to prove your extensive knowledge, experience, and practice across a number of competencies. It is also a way to showcase your abilities in the development and support of others.

You may be a senior manager leading groups of teams within an organisation or working to specialise in the training or coaching of others. You will be able to apply your knowledge effectively in unfamiliar situations in the context of Business Agility and understand different perspectives and frameworks related to Business Agility and the reasoning behind them. You will be able to demonstrate that you can successfully pass on this knowledge and understanding to others.

How do I gain recognition?
To be recognised at this level by the Agile Business Consortium, you will need to provide evidence of how your practice meets the full range of Catalyst competencies together with your experience of developing and supporting others. You will need to submit a portfolio for examination by the Consortium Assessment Panel and if it is accepted, you will be invited to an online interview.
To move on from Catalyst to Thought Leader, a practitioner should focus on their own original thought and the application of their experience with respect to developing business agility in your own field and/or organisation.
