The Executive Portfolio Cleanup Workshop
Overwhelmed by too many initiatives? Use Ecocycle Planning to decide what to grow what to sustain and what to kill.
About this session
Senior leadership teams often find their focus diluted by a growing list of legacy projects that consume resources without delivering clear value. This workshop uses the Ecocycle Planning framework to audit your entire portfolio, forcing a hard look at which initiatives are thriving and which are simply stagnant. You will leave with a documented consensus on which projects to stop immediately so you can reinvest that energy into your highest-priority goals.
Why it works
The session works by shifting the conversation from personal project attachments to a shared visualization of the entire organizational lifecycle. By categorizing work into stages like 'creative destruction' or 'maturity,' it removes the stigma of ending a project and frames 'killing' initiatives as a necessary requirement for new growth. This structured pressure test ensures the team agrees on where capacity is actually being spent versus where it should be.
