The Threat You Don't See
Most communities focus on growth. Few recognize the challenges quietly weakening the businesses they already depend on.
The Catalyst is a business novel that explores the challenges quietly shaping businesses, communities and local economies.
Seeing What Others Miss
Through the story of Economic Development Officer Sarah Mitchell, you are invited to see economic development from a different perspective. One that extends beyond attracting new business and focuses on strengthening the businesses already holding communities together.
As Sarah begins to look beneath the surface of her community, she uncovers patterns that challenge her understanding of growth, leadership and resilience. What appears stable is often more fragile than it seems and the real work of economic development begins long before crisis arrives.
