HORIZONS

ThREE

WORKSHOPS

What portrait will your colleagues create of your organization’s present, transition, and future?

It usually begins with the realization that a team has hit an innovation wall or feels constrained by iterative approaches. There is a willingness to expand beyond the boundaries of conventional thinking and a desire to avoid replicating the same set of values and conditions structuring the dominant present. The team yearns for different futures but can’t imagine how they get there from here.

Through an adapted version of Bill Sharpe’s Three Horizons*, groups acknowledge the past-present, imagine alternative futures, and identify disruptive interventions to business-as-usual. This process enables groups to move beyond reductionist, binary thinking and into spaces of emergence and possibility that unlock the innovation capacities of everyone participating.

WORKSHOP FORMATS

In-person, virtual, or hybrid

Design Your ROOM

In identifying “solutions” within a Three Horizons context, we examine what kinds of change we are inviting and how those interventions might shape alternative futures or perpetuate business-as-usual.
