THREE HORIZONS TRAINING
Become a Three Horizons practitioner
Learn to facilitate a powerful process that helps people have better conversations about the future and map the changes they want to create. This is systems transformation made accessible to all.
Attend the online facilitator training and join a network of global practitioners, policymakers, researchers, business leaders, consultants, conservationists, philanthropists, activists, and community leaders who are using Three Horizons to facilitate change.
What you'll learn
This training equips you with a process to bring people with different views onto the same page and create a share language for speaking about current challenges, future visions, and possible pathways forward.
You will learn to: apply Three Horizons to any task or scope, and build your own Three Horizons map, give equal voice to individuals in any group context, identify key themes emerging from a group, and distinguish between innovation that sustains the status quo (H2-) or fosters transformative innovation (H2+).

Format & Dates
This is an online training over three sessions. Zoom and Miro are used to create our virtual classroom. One session per week for three weeks. Please note, for continuity in the group, participants must commit to attending all three training sessions. There will also be three optional one-hour Q&A sessions for participants to workshop their ideas and deepen learning. The next open training will be late 2024 or early 2025. If you are interested in training for your organisation before then please get in touch.
