Business Alchemy

Practitioner certification · Waitlist open

Train in the discipline. Practise it with your clients.

A certification for advisers, consultants and senior operators who keep seeing the same patterns break in the businesses they work with. A selected cohort of twelve, mentored by Troy, with the diagnostic licensed for your engagements on completion.

The premise

A discipline, not another framework.

Business Pattern Science has been refined over twenty years inside Australian businesses from $2M to $50M. Until now, only Troy has practised it.

The certification opens it to a small number of practitioners: the five patterns, the constraint hierarchy, the diagnostic instruments and the 90-day cycle, taught directly and applied on live engagements under supervision.

It isn't a course or a franchise. You learn to hold the sequence under client pressure, which is the hardest part of the work.

The curriculum

Three phases.

Phase 1

The five patterns

Ownership, Clarity, Rhythm, Flow and Value: the healthy state, the broken state and the correction for each, and the hierarchy that sets the order of repair.

Phase 2

The instruments

How to run the PDI™, EXIT PDI™ and MDI™, read the results, and turn them into a rebuild plan a leadership team will follow.

Phase 3

The engagement

The 90-Day Alchemy Cycle™ in practice: working alongside the business, pacing, sign-offs, the implementation dip and the hand-off.

How it works

DurationSix months: three in-person modules in Queensland, with live engagement work between them.
