Vacated Executive Rapid Transition Services

For boards facing an unexpected CEO departure. OA steps in as fractional leadership support during the vacancy, runs the OA Scorecard™, and prepares the incoming leader for the handoff. The engagement works best when transitioned to the Alchemy90™ program once a new executive is on board. The combined service stabilizes the organization during the period when momentum is most at risk.

Alchemy90™ New Executive Onboarding

For organizations onboarding a new CEO. The first 90 days are crowded: meet the team, read the numbers, earn the board’s confidence, navigate city politics, and show progress. Most leaders try to do everything at once and stall. Alchemy90™ removes the noise. A proprietary 90-day roadmap built from years of leading destination organizations, with built-in support for trust building, early wins, stakeholder mapping, and protecting the leader’s energy. The leader walks out of day 90 with an operating rhythm and stakeholder trust.

The Board Blueprint™

For organizations welcoming new board members, whose existing boards have drifted into operations, lost clarity on role, or started competing with strategy instead of reinforcing it. The Board Blueprint™ is a focused governance reset. The work includes a review of bylaws, committee structure, board matrix, and development process, paired with a two-hour facilitated working session with the full board. Available as a standalone workshop or as part of a complete governance assessment. The result is a board governing at the right altitude, and a CEO with the room to execute.

Executive Succession Planning

For boards that want to be ready before a transition is forced on them. The work pairs a long-horizon succession framework with the leadership-readiness diagnostics that surface internal candidates and identify development gaps. Done well, succession planning is invisible. Done late, it becomes a crisis. Boards walk out of the engagement with a documented succession strategy, a candidate development plan, and the governance practices that keep the strategy current as the organization grows.
