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.

Suggerimenti
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.
Variazioni
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.
