Seeing and Thinking in Three Horizons | H3Uni

Current reality, Horizon One, is the realm of managing and delivering present needs and wants by present methods. The Anthropocene is calling into question the sustainability of a huge proportion of current patterns of activities, and the very premises on which such patterns have been created.

The turbulent transition zone, Horizon Two, brings a focus of entrepreneurial energy, innovation and initiative to discover and create viable patterns that can bring necessary transformation into reality.

These three modes of thought and understanding entail distinct ways of social collaboration and economic behaviour. Learning to envision, think and act together in these ways brings shared competence to the present process of creating desirable and worthwhile futures

Horizon Three is a presently held articulation of viable and desired potential futures, and the values they grow from, discovered as current seedlings of developing potential.
