Catalyst has a simple premise: your time as an employee is valuable, and you should spend it well. Catalyst utilizes thoughtful UI, frictionless UX, and an intelligent machine-learning engine to deliver streamlined business process management. Catalyst does the heavy lifting while users are guided in their interactions, notified only when their attention or action is necessary, and given a robust dashboard from which they can take command of their day.
Special attention was given to the workflow engine, a flexible process management platform from which any type of work interaction or request could be constructed piece by piece. The example workflow below looks at an internal professional development request to attend a professional conference. The user is given a guided, focused approach to surface critical inputs, intelligently reshape the workflow based on user interactions, and engage stakeholders with specific actions.
One of my goals with this concept was to provide as consistent a design system as possible, supporting the user with subtle and consistent design cues throughout their experience, while providing a global UI framework that accommodated their most frequent needs.
Careful attention clear navigation, labels, controls, layout, and content helps balance the complexity of information without producing cognitive overload. Most views and tools are progressive in nature, introducing the user to small decisions and revealing more functionality or content as the user engages further.
