Catalyst
Turning Learning into Lasting Change
Catalyst gives organizations ongoing access to practical leadership learning, expert perspectives, and a shared leadership language through live virtual sessions, micro-learning, in-person connection, and Furman-credentialed development.
Leadership Development Shouldn’t Be an Annual Event
Many organizations want consistent leadership development, but do not have the time, budget, or internal capacity to build a full learning and development program from scratch. Training often happens in isolated moments, making it harder for leaders to build shared language, apply new behaviors and sustain momentum over time.
Catalyst helps close that gap with a year-long membership model designed to keep leadership development active, accessible and connected to real organizational needs.
A smarter way to invest in leadership across your organization.
A Realistic Model for Continuous Leadership Growth
Catalyst is an enterprise leadership development membership that gives your organization access to a full year of CIL learning opportunities for one predictable annual rate. Instead of counting seats for every session, member organizations can engage leaders throughout the year through live online learning, expert sessions, micro-learning and in-person peer connection.
Built around CIL’s Innovative Leadership Framework, Catalyst helps participants strengthen shared leadership behaviors across six core areas: Model, Vision, Regulate, Innovate, Empower and Celebrate.
What’s Included
- Six live online leadership certification sessions focused on the six Innovative Leadership Framework behaviors
- Six live online expert speaker sessions featuring perspectives from CIL’s institute and program network
- Four asynchronous micro-learning modules which are short, practical learning experiences on topics such as AI, data analytics, leadership and resilience.
- Two in-person networking sessions at the Furman Innovation Lab, designed for shared leadership questions, peer exchange and regional connection
- Member organizations receive open-enrollment program discounts and preferred access to additional CIL learning opportunities.
- Participants who complete the six certification sessions earn a Furman credential.
Leadership Development That Scales With Your Organization
From one-time training to sustained development.
Organizations that develop leaders consistently are better equipped to navigate change, retain talent and respond to new opportunities. Catalyst provides a predictable, year-round approach to leadership development that helps organizations support employees without the complexity of managing multiple training initiatives or vendors.
By creating regular opportunities for learning, reflection and connection, Catalyst helps build stronger leadership habits across teams. The result is greater alignment, a shared leadership language and a workforce that is better prepared to lead through complexity and growth.
