The Business Alchemy Framework

Clarity is not found. It is forged.

The Challenge Beneath the Challenge

Every organization I have ever worked with came to me presenting one problem and carrying another. The presenting problem was tactical. The real problem was almost always the same: they didn’t know who they had become.

The Business Alchemy Framework is a five-phase proprietary methodology for organizational transformation; built on over two decades of work across in-house, agency, and consulting environments. It is not a template. It is a process. One that begins not with the solution, but with an honest examination of the prima materia: the raw, unformed truth of what is actually there.

The Five Phases

  • Phase I - Nigredo: The Identiy Gap

    Something is misaligned. Someone has to name it first.

  • Phase II - Albedo: The Diagnostic

    Create the conditions. Extract the truth. Find the common language.

  • Phase III - Citrinitas: The Build

    Define the wall. Build the foundation. Align everything to what’s supposed to stick.

  • Phace IV - Rubedo: The Integration

    The gold has been forged. Now the organization learns to hold it.

  • Phase V - Solve et Coagula: The Stewardship

    The circuit completes. The spiral begins again, from a higher point.

The framework is the foundation of every True Colors Strategy engagement; from the course suite to the embedded strategic retainers. To explore how it applies to your organization, begin a conversation.
