In the past few days, I have had some exchanges on twitter with Jairo H Venegas and Ralph-Christian Ohr on different thinking around the three horizon methodology. We share similar views on its value and partly how it can be applied. Ralph and I exchange constantly and occasionally meet up together. Actually, we need another … Continue reading “Applying innovation thinking in different horizons”
We often constrain our innovation because we ‘shoehorn’ any conceptual thinking into a given time, usually the yearly budgetary plan. This shoehorning often dominates the actions decided and can exercise a large influence in this constraining of ideas to realization. We should make the case that different types of innovation operate and evolve over different … Continue reading “Innovation needs different time and thinking horizons”
We so often struggle to articulate our innovation activity and then can’t seemingly project our plans into the future in consistent and coherent ways. We often lack the framing necessary. If this rings true of the innovation activity in your organization, then it is in danger of being seen as isolated, one-off events, that fail … Continue reading “Drawing out the different voices within the three horizon methodology for Innovation”

Businesses are … Continue reading “Reflecting on the Three Horizon Model for our Innovatation in the Future”
Irrespective of the organization, we all struggle with transformational innovation. So often we are simply comfortable in our ‘business as usual’. We gear performance to the short-term, we put the emphasis on the current fiscal year, and we support the core business in numerous ways, usually with lots and lots of incremental innovation, so the … Continue reading “Traversing different horizons for transformational innovation”
Nobody said innovation was easy and I was reminded of that recently. Innovation can certainly be, without doubt, fairly complicated in larger organizations. What must not be forgotten is that we must manage the innovation activities across all the three horizons of innovation and that adds even more complexity. What is ensured from this complexity … Continue reading “Striking the balance for exploitation across different innovation horizons”
I have planned to explore in three simultaneous blogs, a trilogy of blogs, the three horizon model more extensively. It is a most valuable one to build into your thinking about strategy and innovation. This is the final blog of the trilogy on the Three Horizon Framework and offers my thinking on an emerging framing … Continue reading “The Navigation of the Three Horizon Framework- An Emerging Guide.”
The three horizons for innovation thinking
In my view any new approach to innovation needs to aim to achieve interdependent and interlocking innovation, solving problems that have not been addressed before and offering sustainable value, impact, and returns to all involved or significantly improving on the existing solutions. Today we are missing a comprehensive structure or innovation process to achieve this, … Continue reading “The Final Perspective: A Composable Innovation Enterprise Framework”
