The Adjacent Possible

“The adjacent possible is a kind of shadow future, hovering on the edges of the present state of things, a map of all the ways in which the present can reinvent itself. The adjacent possible captures both the limits and the creative potential of change and innovation.”
— Eddie Smith

At Horizon Two Labs we define the adjacent possible through the lens of the horizon innovation framework. The Three Horizons is a way of approaching different innovations efforts, from the incremental and disruptive to radical transformation. Our specialty is integrating the second Horizon into the enterprise, preparing the way to straddle immediate needs and long term vision.
