Ecocycle Planning is about exploring what you’re keeping in the air (but shouldn’t), and what you aren’t keeping in the air (but should). Instead of just reverting back to “what was” through recovery planning, the Ecocycle Planning framework provides organizations an opportunity to re-imagine and re-align their work to their new realities in meaningful and powerful ways.

That is, given the significant demands to effectively react to a crisis or changes in the operating environment, most organizations stop at continuity/recovery planning, thus missing an important opportunity for organizational sustainability and impact.

A critical approach to support organizational readiness in changing environments is anchoring work to intentional, ongoing, adaptive and flexible planning.

This toolkit is a planning resource for organizational leaders, that allows ASOs to drive to impact, even through these new times of ongoing change and relative instability. ASOs can use this toolkit on an ongoing basis to ensure sustainability and accountability, while also continuing to innovate in their work to meet their vision and mission.
