Termination (10)
Lifecycle Stage
In the Termination Stage, the value stream is closed, and the crew focuses on other opportunities.
Initiation • Expedition • Formation • Validation • Stabilization • Acceleration • Crystallization • Expansion • Conservation • Termination
Purpose
“The Finish stage (10) is where the typical business model lifecycle comes to an end. If you were the founder of the business, you probably already have enjoyed your personal exit in an earlier stage. But the company’s current leaders have to make a decision about the business that is about to end: either shut it down completely, or break it up into valuable pieces and reuse them or sell them off to others.”
