About this event
Is yours one of the few businesses that can rely on being creative and innovative?
When considering the nurturing innovation, perhaps it might be expected in a new start-up. What about an established businesses looking to become more innovative?
Conventionally an S-curve is used to describe the life cycle of a business, where eventually growth ceases and ideally a new curve is already developing to continue growth.
Unfortunately, all too often businesses become stuck at the top of the ‘S’ as bureaucratic institutions that are highly vulnerable in the face of a crisis.
David K Hurst has challenged this concept with his Organizational Ecocycle, which uses mobius loop, an infinity-shaped, model inspired by the cycle of life, death and renewal within a forest in nature.
The talk will introduce Hurst’s adaptive ecocycle and the “Sweet Zone” within it which hovers between the spiral traps of poverty and rigidity. Within the sweet zone Positive Deviance (disruptive thinking) is encouraged, indeed nurtured, to act as a breeding ground for innovation.
