Transform before commit.

Some options are too important to abandon but not yet strong enough to approve where they may contain a valuable idea, an urgent opportunity or a meaningful ambition.
DSN:ALCHEMY™ helps leaders transform what has potential before they fund what is not yet ready.

WHEN ALCHEMY IS NEEDED
DSN:ALCHEMY™ begins when the current plan/idea must be transformed before commitment.
DSN:ALCHEMY™ begins when the current plan/idea must be transformed before commitment.
DSN:ALCHEMY™ does not begin because a team wants more ideas.
It begins after DSN:Decision Diagnostic™ or DSN:PRISM™ has found that the proposed option should not proceed unchanged.
WHAT DSN:ALCHEMY™ MAY TRANSFORM
The valuable core may remain. The way it enters the game may need to change.

DSN:ALCHEMY™ does not change the game to protect the plan or idea. It changes the plan or idea so that it can answer the real game.

THE DISCIPLINE OF DSN:ALCHEMY™
Six transformation principles:
Six transformation principles:
TRANSFORMATION REQUIRES BOUNDARIES OR IT BECOMES REINVENTION WITHOUT JUDGMENT.
TRANSFORM BEFORE COMMIT
A weak option should not be funded because it is important.
A weak option should not be funded because it is important.
Importance deserves more than automatic approval.
It deserves:
An honest account of what is not working;
Protection of what remains valuable;
Transformation of the underlying weakness;
Commitment proportionate to the evidence;
Fresh ruling before more resources move.
DSN:ALCHEMY™ does not ask: “How do we persuade everyone to accept this option?”
It asks: “What must change before this option deserves commitment?”
Use DSN:ALCHEMY™ after the evidence has ruled that the option cannot proceed unchanged but before the organisation abandons something that may still contain value.
