Ecocycle Planning Visualization

Renewal (sowing)

Mission-driven identification of new ideas and improving the conditions for their successful development.

Creation (tending)

Outcome-oriented development of a pattern of working together and identification of required processes and structures for pilot projects and activities.

Scarcity trap

The organization struggles to create new activities due to a real or perceived lack of resources (e.g. financial, human resources, organizational capacity).

 

Creative destruction (plowing)

Value-based dismantling of activities, processes, systems and patterns of working together, which no longer meet their purpose, in order to create space for new energy, vision, relationships and directions to emerge.

Rigidity trap

The organization is unwilling to change or dismantle an approach that no longer fits the evolving context in which they operate.

Maturity (harvesting)

Standardization of organizational or program practices, structures and patterns of working together, focused on impact, performance measures and sustainability.
