BNP PARIBAS

Following the merger of Banque Nationale de Paris and Banque Paribas, Catalyst staged a series of programmes designed to unify the people, practises and cultures of many departments within the newly formed BNP Paribas.

“I am writing to acknowledge the part which Catalyst have played in the smooth and successful integration of many of our teams, following the recent BNP/Paribas merger.

As always, your input has proved both enjoyable and valuable, and has without doubt helped to overcome a great many cultural and practical barriers which would otherwise have significantly impeded the business.

All of the managers who have used your programmes have reported valuable benefits in terms of team performance and communications, and we look forward to a continuing successful relationship.”

Giulia Taliani, Corporate Communications Events Manager, BNP Paribas.

BACARDI-MARTINI

As an integral element of Bacardi-Martini’s ‘Teamwork 2000’ initiative, Catalyst delivered a series of programmes designed to develop the quality and effectiveness of teamworking and communications throughout the organisation.

“I just wanted to write to you now that we have come to the end of the first six months programme of ‘Teamwork 2000’ which has been rolled out to 180 of our employees so far.

As teamwork is one of our core values it is probably the most important area that we train in.

Catalyst are the most innovative providers that we have come across. The training is fun and effective in terms of implementation back in the workplace.

We are looking forward to the next courses. Thanks again for all your efforts and well done!”

Colleen Potter, Training & Communications Manager, Bacardi-Martini.
