Ecocycle Planning

Ecocycle Planning is a strategic tool that helps teams evaluate their activities through the lenses of four developmental phases: birth, maturity, creative destruction, and renewal. This method encourages a balanced approach to growth, efficiency, and innovation by identifying activities to nurture, eliminate, or transform.

Cómo ejecutarlo

  1. 1

    Introduce the Ecocycle concept and distribute blank maps to participants.

    Have participants list all current activities or projects they are involved in.

  3. 3

    In pairs, decide where each activity fits within the Ecocycle phases.

  4. 4

    Form groups of four to finalize the placement of activities on the Ecocycle map.

  5. 5

    Create a collective map by placing group Post-its on a large wall poster.

  6. 6

    Analyze the placement patterns and discuss activities that require change.

  7. 7

    Develop action steps for activities needing cessation or expansion.

Consejos

  • Start with a smaller, focused program rather than a vast portfolio to ease participants into the process.

  • Ensure all activities are clearly defined and relevant to the domain under discussion.

  • Encourage diverse perspectives by including participants from various organizational levels.

Variaciones

Consider mapping important relationships alongside activities to gain further insights. For virtual sessions, use digital tools for mapping and discussion. Supplement with other methods like TRIZ for deeper exploration of the Creative Destruction phase.
