SERVICES

AmeriCatalyst capabilities and services center around an “ecosystem” of the five fundamental elements of content, context, community, communication, and convergence. When viewed separately they describe broad open-ended concepts. When viewed holistically, they comprise the lifecycle of our core capabilities.

Our capabilities include:

Corporate strategy
We look at strategy from the “outside in,” providing strategic insight through a comprehensive understanding of industry direction, areas of convergence, and current and future customer priorities. Working with senior management, we harness our knowledge and thought leadership to provide breakthrough strategies for our clients.

M&A, joint venture and partnership strategies
We work with executives to get the most out of the portfolio of businesses they have and build the businesses they need, focusing on value growth organically, through strategic partnerships and joint ventures, and through acquisition. Our services help identify the most undervalued firms for acquisitions, and most value-added firms for strategic partnerships.

Marketing and market positioning
We help clients discover, define, and articulate their core purpose beyond making a profit. We help translate and distribute that vision into the marketplace. On an independent basis we interview industry leaders and a firm’s current and potential client base to evaluate how its brand performs in comparison to its competitors. We then help focus marketing and sales resources to address strategic and profitable business opportunities more effectively.

Custom events We produce custom sales, marketing, and business development events based on a predefined purpose. The events are produced on a “white label” basis for our clients or we co-brand the event if our clients wish to leverage our brand.

White Papers Our White Papers are a collaborative effort that focus on the state of the industry, provide a vision for improvement, identify drivers of demand, and how current products and solutions effectively address that demand.

Third-party sales support
As an independent third-party, we constantly look for subtle but effective opportunities to support the sales process without overtly selling the products ourselves. With our well-placed network of professional colleagues, clients, and our natural extension of mutual favors, we open minds, open doors, and create the opportunity for an open budget for our client’s products and services.

Research and Corporate Intelligence
We provide fact-based research and analysis based on a comprehensive set of information sources and in-depth knowledge. Our research can be delivered periodically on a predefined and customized basis; time-sensitive support for research projects with well-defined scope and duration and/or we help build in-house research capabilities to support effective decision-making.

Executive search and recruitment
In addition to our extensive network, our events demand that we continuously meet and collect information on exceptionally talented and highly effective individuals to invite to participate and/or speak at the events. At the same time, we are constantly approached by those types of individuals who seek a platform on which to exchange their ideas and heighten their profile. We are exceptional at finding the talent and skill set to build your executive team, and we do it with such ease and enthusiasm that we often make the connection and forget to charge for it as a legitimate service.

Executive training and motivation
We provide customized, informational, lively and comprehensive training in our core market expertise to increase understanding, inspire vision, build capabilities and motivate performance at all levels of the organization. Our training is performed on an ad hoc or scheduled basis.
