— AUGMNT™ · A Horizons Company

A Horizons Company.

Seeing the present clearly.
Seeing the future differently.

We work the three horizons — the now, the emerging and the future — as one system, inside the organization that has to act on them.

— FORESIGHT AT WORK

Foresight explores the future. A Horizons Company puts it to work.

At AUGMNT, we think that seeing far ahead is half the job. The other half is knowing what it means for the business you run today — what to defend, and what to develop.

A FORESIGHT (STRATEGY) COMPANY

Explores possible futures.

Builds Horizon 3 scenarios

Studies the environment.

Delivers insight about what may come.

A HORIZONS (STRATEGY) COMPANY

Maps the organization within it

Turns it into two business engines: the core and the future.

— THE THREE HORIZONS

Three horizons. All present now.

Elements of all three exist at any given time. Only their weight differs.

H1 · THE NOW

Defend + Develop

The business that sustains you today. It keeps things running — and slowly loses its fit as the world changes.

H2 · THE EMERGING

Adapt + Pioneer

Where innovation happens. Some of it props up today’s business. Some of it bridges to what comes next.

H3 · THE FUTURE

Transform

The successor already taking shape at the fringe — better fitted to the world that is coming.

— 3H1S
Three horizons.
One system.

The horizons are not three separate exercises. They move together — and they move the whole organization with them.

The whole organization

Its structure, its assets, its risks and its opportunities.

Its whole environment

Micro, meso and macro.

A truer picture

More accurate than the mental model we carry of it.

Made explicit

Nothing important left implicit.

Two engines

The three horizons convert into a core business engine and a future business engine.

— WHAT IT GIVES YOU

KNOW MORE.
SEE FURTHER.
DEFEND & DEVELOP.

Make more of what matters explicit. Expand what can be seen across the horizons. Strengthen what sustains the organization and develop what comes next.

— WHY HORIZONS

From the side of the business that owns the outcome.

We came to foresight from law, from ownership and from operating businesses. What we saw: the horizons are often treated in silos. Making them work takes a working understanding of how they move together. That is what we bring.
