This is part two of three blogs on the Three Horizon Framework and follows my one called “The value of managing innovation across the three horizons.” It further adds to the initial blog I wrote last year, called “the three horizon approach to innovation (http://bit.ly/ck8KfN). That blog gave a short introduction to the three horizon approach arguing we should take a more evolutionary perspective across the entire innovation business portfolio by using this model.
Going beyond that initial introduction in a trilogy of blogs, I plan to explore in this one, the second of these three simultaneous blogs, much of the thinking behind the Three Horizon model.

The use of the three horizon model, frames and can alter the nature of the tensions and dilemmas between vision and reality and the distinction between innovations that serve to prolong the status quo and those that serve to bring the third horizon vision closer to reality. It provides a great way to frame your innovation thinking
The Value of Managing Innovation across the Three Horizons

I plan to explore in three simultaneous blogs the three horizon model more extensively, this is the first of the blogs. Part two is here and part three here

The Three Horizon Approach to Innovation
The three horizons for innovation thinking
Thinking through the management of innovation have you ever considered the Three Horizons approach? It is likely through this approach business leaders can adopt an evolutionary perspective across the entire innovation business portfolio.
If you are using a three horizons type approach to innovation, it becomes clear that you need to continue investing in innovative activities across all three time horizons, even if you’re in the middle of a present day crisis. To do this effectively, you need to have some idea of where you’re heading in the future, and that’s why I think it’s a useful tool for linking innovation to strategy.
