This PPT slide, part of the 41-slide Growth Strategy PowerPoint presentation, outlines a strategic framework for organizations aiming to balance their core business operations with the pursuit of new growth opportunities. It is structured around 3 distinct horizons, each representing a different phase of growth and associated objectives.

Horizon 1 focuses on the core business, which is essential for immediate performance, cash flow, and profitability. The text emphasizes the need to extend and defend this core, acknowledging that while there is some growth potential, it tends to plateau over time. This horizon is about managing profitability, continuing innovation, and optimizing efficiency. Strong operational managers are crucial in this phase to ensure stability and performance.

Horizon 2 shifts attention to building emerging businesses. Here, the goal is to create new revenue streams and extend existing operations into new directions. The slide suggests that after a few years, these new ventures should be positioned to replicate the success of the core business. This requires a different mindset, focusing on driving ventures to take root and effectively replicating the established business model. Business builders and entrepreneurial leaders are highlighted as key players in this phase.

Horizon 3 is about creating viable options for future growth. This phase involves seeding future businesses that could transform the industry. It emphasizes the importance of new ideas backed by investments, which may take the form of research, alliances, or pilot projects. Visionaries and unconventional thinkers are necessary to explore these growth options, which are expected to materialize over a longer time horizon, typically around ten years.

This framework serves as a guide for organizations to strategically navigate growth while maintaining their core business integrity.
