The Three Horizon Approach to Innovation
The three horizons for innovation thinking
Can we recognize yin yang as a dual force of innovation?
Scholars tell us that there are two natural complementary yet contradictory forces at work within our universe.
The Chinese call these ‘Yin Yang’. Yin is regarded as more passive, receptive, more outside-in, whereas Yang is more active, creative and inside-out. These are seemingly opposing forces but interconnected and interdependent; one gives rise to the other, they actually reinforce each other.
Yin & yang seemingly have the following characteristics: they are opposing yet equally rooted together; they have the power to transform each other and eventually are balanced out.
