Greg Davis, Catalyst’s CEO, says: “Capital markets projects and programmes that cross geographical, business and functional boundaries are always difficult. Combined with the current market conditions and regulatory pressures, it’s not surprising they are so stressful to run – or that most end up failing to deliver the value they were designed to create. This series of webcasts is designed to help capital markets firms achieve the business benefits they need from their projects and programmes, and to ease the pressure on those running them.”

CMP90 – Give your Capital Markets Programmes a 90% chance of success is essential viewing for anyone on a capital markets project or programme team, programme sponsors, programme managers, heads of PMO, heads of change and CIOs.

Catalyst’s CMP90 method for delivering capital markets programmes gives firms the method, the tools and the people they need to create the conditions for success. It focuses on six crucial areas:
