Paul Hobcraft

Presently the three horizon model for innovation is argued as no longer applying to innovation as it has been suggested, or I feel so, in a recent article written by Steve Blank.

I apply the three horizons from the more mature organizations perspective and in a much wider lens framing approach than clear he does.
