DSN:ALCHEMY™
DSN:ALCHEMY™
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™ 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 DISCIPLINE OF DSN:ALCHEMY™
TRANSFORMATION REQUIRES BOUNDARIES OR IT BECOMES REINVENTION WITHOUT JUDGMENT.
TRANSFORM BEFORE COMMIT
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.
