Genesis
The name “Octapult” is a fusion of two words: Catapult and Octave, each symbolizing the core principles that define our approach to innovation and business transformation.
Catapult originates from the Ancient Greek word Katapellētēs, meaning “to hurl something without the use of explosive devices.” It represents one of the earliest forms of military innovation, revolutionizing warfare by moving beyond hand-to-hand combat. In the context of our work, “Catapult” embodies the idea of propelling businesses forward, driving them beyond their current capabilities through the power of strategic innovation, without the need for disruptive force.
Octave comes from the Latin word Octavus, meaning “eighth.” In music, a perfect octave is the interval between two pitches, where one has double or half the frequency of the other, creating harmony. It has been referred to as the “basic miracle of music” due to its universality across various musical systems. At Octapult, the concept of “Octave” reflects our belief in harmony and balance—using innovation as a disciplined, measurable process that resonates across different facets of an organization, helping businesses grow sustainably and in sync with their environments.
Together, “Octapult” represents a powerful blend of momentum and harmony, aiming to launch organizations to new heights while ensuring that growth is balanced, sustainable, and culturally attuned.
