The innovation “Third Horizon” addresses the needs and barriers detected through surveys in small and medium-sized companies. The main problems identified by the innovators are: - Insufficient funds for sourcing innovations and consequently for implementing new products and services; - An insufficient number of employees assigned to innovation processes – the companies we surveyed prioritise their day-to-day operations over innovation; they are reluctant to delegate employees to work on innovation processes; - Lacking trust – consultants or other people from outside the companies have to deal with the subconscious resistance of the employees, as they are viewed as not being 'one of us'; - Lacking comprehensive knowledge, gathered in one place; - Kowledge is transferred in a way that is difficult to understand.

“Third Horizon” helps a business adapt to future changes and trends. The innovation is primarily intended for employees and owners of micro, small and medium-sized companies. Its aim is to enable the recipients to predict and define upcoming trends and to find solutions to future challenges. “Third Horizon” provides the right tools and teaches how to use them in a simple way. This innovation enables its recipients to look at their own enterprise not from a 'here and now' perspective but from a future perspective, and to develop specific action plans. “Third Horizon” is a clear step-by-step learning system with materials prepared using plain language and power writing techniques as well as an annually updated inventory of upcoming trends. The innovation is implemented in two steps: - Analysis – trends, perspective, future; this stage is question-oriented; - Implementation – values, changes, idea; this stage is action-oriented.
