Thirty years of delivery leadership.
Built into a diagnostic that works in a week.
Scott Felten. Founder.
I have spent thirty years building, leading, and rebuilding delivery organizations. Including nearly three decades at a global market research firm operating in over 100 countries. Roles from applications developer to Global SVP to what amounts to a service-line CTO.
The work I am most proud of is not the platforms I built — it is the teams I built. Taking a development organization from waterfall to agile and watching speed to market increase by 500%. Reducing a global client deliverable cycle by a third.
I have also watched what happens when you step back from a team you have invested years in. The practices that required sustained governance quietly lapse. That gap is what Catalyst Advisory is built to close.
I built the assessment tool and all four deliverable formats myself. I am based in the Cincinnati area and work with organizations across the US and internationally.
How I work.
Specific over generic.
Deliverables over recommendations.
Re-engagement over transformation.
Direct over diplomatic.
Fixed fee over open-ended.
