Seeing Your Innovating Future Across Different Horizons

The Three Horizons (3H) methodology is a valuable tool for managing innovation as it allows businesses to transition between short, medium, and long term innovation activities. It helps gauge the challenges and evaluate the innovation portfolio of activities, resources and skillsets across different delivery frames. The 3H methodology prompts organizations to reflect and make changes in order to meet new challenges within the emerging vision of future possibilities. Managing the transitory zone (the 2H) is key for innovation management as it holds the key to moving towards a sustainable future built on different views and perspectives. The 3H framework can support diverse management thinking, strategic focus, and innovation alignment, allowing organizations to allocate and define resources appropriately.
