Every organization reaches a turning point — when something needs to change, improve, or accelerate. The opportunity is there. The question is: Do you have the right partner to make it happen?
At Catalyst:Ed, we provide resources to help make that decision with confidence, because choosing the right partner means knowing what to look for. For that, it’s important to understand how we use the terms “project” and “provider”—two concepts that are core to our process and referenced throughout this guide.
- A project is the work you’re driving forward (from strategic planning to community engagement)
- A provider is the trusted professional who helps you get there (a vetted consultant with the right skills and alignment to support your goals)
A clear, intentional approach makes all the difference. With the right preparation, you’ll gain valuable insights and find a provider that truly fits your needs.
This simple framework is designed for flexibility and focus, helping you lead the conversation with purpose.
