I recently applied the three horizons thinking to ‘frame’ a new innovation design. So the thinking intent of searching for a new innovation design had some framing assumptions that can leverage where we are to move towards a new future. This is a useful way to think about the initial 3H outcome.

While most large companies want to become more agile and innovative, many of them fail to turn this wish into a reality. One basic argument is that no matter what we do to undertake change, we seem stuck in the Industrial Age of the last century.
