About our three horizons slides
What the slide does, how to use it, your brand, and a file you can edit anywhere.
Built to show whether your portfolio leans too heavily on today
The three horizons model was set out in the 1999 book The Alchemy of Growth by Mehrdad Baghai, Stephen Coley, and David White. It splits a company’s activity into the core business, emerging opportunities, and future options, and argues that all three need investment at the same time. The three horizons framework on a slide shows whether a portfolio is balanced or leaning too heavily on today.
Why growth needs all three horizons at once
Most companies pour attention into the core business until it starts to decline, then look for what’s next. By then it’s late. Showing all three horizons together makes the imbalance visible early. So investment in the next business starts while the current one is still strong.
Brand the whole presentation in one click
Add your logo, colors, fonts, and background once. It applies to the whole presentation and the entire slide library at the same time. Three horizons slides go to boards and strategy teams planning for the long term, so once branded, they match the rest of your strategy work.
Export to PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote
You get a real file, not a locked link. Export it and keep editing in the tool you already use. All three horizons and their initiatives stay editable, so you can move initiatives as they mature.

About the three horizons
What are the three horizons?
Horizon 1 is the core business that earns money today. Horizon 2 is emerging businesses that are starting to grow. Horizon 3 is early ideas and options for the future.
How should investment be split across the horizons?
It depends on the company, but each horizon needs some. A portfolio with nothing in horizons 2 and 3 has no next business lined up.
How is it different from the S-curve?
The S-curve shows the growth pattern of one business. The three horizons show a portfolio of businesses at different stages.
