Coppice Exhaustion
Organizations have finite regeneration capacity.
Don't mistake successful regeneration for immortality. Every regeneration costs something you can't get back.
Each time a tree is cut and regrows, it depletes root reserves. Each regeneration cycle is slightly weaker than the last. The first coppice cycle produces 50 vigorous shoots. The fifth produces 30. The tenth produces 15. Eventually - after decades or centuries - the root system is exhausted. The next cutting produces no shoots. The tree is finally dead.
Business Application of Coppice Exhaustion
Organizations have finite regeneration capacity. Each crisis depletes reserves (talent, brand trust, customer loyalty, cash). Each regeneration requires more energy than the last. Eventually reserves are exhausted and the next crisis is fatal. Regeneration buys time (10-20 years typically) but isn't permanent.
