Most organizations use the same approach to create systemic change as they do to make progress on their core operations. This does not work and is the root cause why innovations routinely fail. Every company grows in 3 separate horizons and each of those horizons has tools, processes, and mindsets that are unique them. This idea is at the core of How to Create Innovation.
HOW IT WORKS
Change operates in companies on three levels, or horizons. On the level of everyday business (Horizon 1), incremental improvements optimize and streamline systems. On the second level (Horizon 2), step-change transformation seeks to change one part of your business in a more significant way and manage the ripple effects which that creates in other parts of the business. The most significant level of change (Horizon 3) is innovation, which typically moves beyond the established business to create a totally new product or business model.
The UNITE Horizons of Growth outlines the necessary approaches, tools, management strategies, and goals for each horizon.
Using the UNITE Horizons of Growth supports you in achieving your goals in a number of key ways: it helps situate you in your specific context, it is pivotal to understanding what it specifically takes for growth to happen, it helps allocate funds among growth initiatives, and it reminds an organization that its tactics should differ according to what it is trying to achieve.
Managing growth across all 3 Horizons effectively. Most digital transformations and innovation initiatives fail because companies apply Horizon 1 approaches to a Horizon 2 or 3 challenge. As we show in How to Create Innovation, understanding the necessary distinction between these 3 Horizons of Growth is the prerequisite for success.
