About Katalystra

The ability to change is built through use.

Organisations need to deliver here and now. At the same time they need to develop their ability to meet new situations, greater complexity and changed conditions.

Katalystra exists to help people and organisations do both — create balanced value today while building transformative capability for tomorrow.

Balanced value development today. Transformative capability for tomorrow.

Vision

A better world through revolutionary, transformative leadership and organisational development, grounded in ancient wisdom, proven science and the latest technology.

Organisations shape people and society through what they prioritise and how they lead, collaborate and make decisions.

Katalystra brings together ancient wisdom, proven science and the latest technology in ways of working that strengthen reflection, perspective-taking, human judgement and shared action.

Development becomes transformative when people and organisations see their situation for themselves, understand what is happening, choose a direction and act on what they learn.

Who we are

Two experiences. One shared curiosity.

Katalystra is run by Magnus Lindstedt and Mikael Larsson. We come from partly different directions, but share the conviction that real development has to bring together the person, the business and the system around them.

What we believe

A few principles that guide how we work

Reality before the model Models and theories help us see and understand. Their value shows in real decisions, meetings and actions.

Technology that strengthens human capability Technology and AI should strengthen people's ability to understand, collaborate, use their judgement and develop together.

Development together We develop together with people who stand in the middle of reality. Their experiences, perspectives and questions shape the work and the next step.

Balanced value development today. Transformative capability for tomorrow. Every step should create concrete value here and now while strengthening the organisation's capability to understand, learn and transform when the situation calls for it.
