The Sustainable Teams Ecocycle: an integrated approach to change
Inspired by natural cycles, the Sustainable Teams Ecocycle is a dynamic model that represents the different phases a team goes through when facing change. It is not a linear process, but a continuous cycle of renewal and adaptation. Understanding where your team is in this ecocycle allows you to apply the right strategies at the right time.
The key phases of the Ecocycle that we explore with your team:
- Growth and Accumulation: Identification of strengths, achievements, and resources accumulated by the team.
- Crisis and Reshaping: Recognition of tensions, blockages, and transformation needs.
- Liberation and Creative Destruction: Managing loss, releasing the old to make way for the new.
- Reorganization and Renewal: Rebuilding, innovating, and integrating new dynamics for a stronger future.
Our approach to supporting your team in the Ecocycle
We use the Ecocycle as a framework for targeted interventions and participatory workshops that help your team to:
- Identify its current position in the ecocycle and anticipate upcoming phases.
- Develop a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to change.
- Mobilize internal resources to navigate transition periods with confidence.
- Co-create adaptation strategies and resilience, transforming obstacles into levers for growth.
- Strengthen collective capacity to innovate and continuously reinvent itself.
- Minimize resistance to change by actively involving each member.
