AlchemyOS™

How Industry-Leading DMOs Sustain Momentum.

AlchemyOS™ is the annual retained operational excellence program that keeps your leadership team running on the cadence, KPIs, and culture you just installed.

The Operating Rhythm

The AlchemyOS™ Operating Rhythm.

Monthly Executive Coaching

One one-hour coaching call per month with the Executive Director, structured around the strategic plan, KPIs, the leadership team’s working dynamics, and whatever is alive in the destination that week.

Monthly Department Leader Coaching

One 30-minute coaching call per month for each department leader, a deep dive into their department’s responsibility within the strategic plan, developing a cadence for success.

Quarterly Leadership Team Sessions

One 90-minute virtual session every quarter with the full leadership team. Plan status. KPI review. Roadblocks named. Priorities reset for the next 90 days. The standing rhythm that turns the strategic plan into the operating rhythm.

Annual Onsite Reset

At year end, during the budget and annual business planning process, OA is on the ground with the leadership team. A half-day spent inside the plan, the people, and the culture, where the year’s biggest decisions get made and the team comes back together.

KPI Dashboard and Plan Refresh

The KPI dashboard is reviewed every quarter and the plan is refreshed as the destination changes. The board gets a clean, evidence-based picture every quarter without the CEO scrambling the week before the board meeting.

What You Walk Away With

Anyone Can Build a Plan. AlchemyOS™ Makes It Breathe.

At the close of an engagement, the organization holds:

  • Twelve months of structured executive coaching for the leader the board hired.
  • Twelve months of department-leader coaching across the full leadership team.
  • Four quarterly leadership sessions tied to the strategic plan and the KPI dashboard.
  • An end-of-year onsite reset where the year’s biggest decisions get made together.
  • A KPI dashboard that runs and a Radical Alignment Map™ that gets refreshed as the destination changes.
  • A leadership team that lives inside the strategic plan instead of remembering it once a year.

This is the standing partnership that turns a strategic plan into the daily operating system of the destination.

Recommended Enhancement

The Board Blueprint™

The trip is booked. The room is reserved. The leadership team is already inside the work. Add the Board Blueprint™ to the annual onsite reset and turn one trip into a full day of alignment. The morning belongs to the leadership team reset already inside your AlchemyOS™ engagement; the afternoon brings the board into the room for a focused session on strategic plan review, new-member orientation, and governance training. One trip. One day. One aligned governing body.

In The Field

Real Organizations. Real Results.

Rice Lake Tourism
Strategic Plan + Retained Org. Excellence

Rice Lake Tourism

The Situation

Rice Lake, Wisconsin is a small but mighty outdoor recreation paradise. A new Mayor focused on tourism restructured the tourism commission and staff and wanted a best-practice-run organization and strategy.

What We Did

Using both the OA Scorecard™ and the strategic planning process, OA worked with the solo staff member to assess the organization model and develop a first-ever Rice Lake tourism strategic plan.

The Outcome

Working alongside OA staff on a monthly basis, Rice Lake is structuring their organization and tourism infrastructure for future success, including restructuring board governance, developing financial policies and a new budget, enhancing marketing and data analytics, and getting involved in destination development projects. The future of Rice Lake tourism is bright.

Real Questions

The Questions Leaders Actually Ask.

How long is the AlchemyOS™ commitment?

Twelve months, or your full fiscal year after your strategic plan goes live, is the recommendation. The engagement is renewable annually. Most clients renew because the rhythm becomes the culture and they do not want to lose it. AlchemyOS™ is your project manager, chief strategy officer, and implementation manager in one.

What exactly is included month to month?

One hour of executive coaching for the CEO. Thirty minutes of coaching for each department leader. A quarterly leadership team session. Onsite resets across the year. Standing KPI dashboard review. A thinking partner who knows the plan, the people, and the destination.

Can the program be expanded or scaled down?

Yes. Larger teams add department coaching slots. Smaller organizations consolidate. The cadence is the product. The volume of touchpoints scales with the team it serves.

How is this different from traditional executive coaching?

Traditional coaching is open-ended, reactive, and most often focused on individual growth and team culture. AlchemyOS™ is structured and proactive. Every conversation is tied to the strategic plan, the KPIs, and the destination’s operating rhythm, with a goal of implementation success.
