Question: In the three horizon framework, what does horizon two symbolize?
- The initiatives you take to power short-term success
- The initiatives you take to power mid-term success
- The initiatives you take to power long-term success
- The initiatives you choose to omit or de-prioritize
Explanation
In the three horizon framework, horizon two represents mid-term initiatives. These initiatives help the business develop future sources of growth while current operations continue. HubSpot uses this framework to separate near-term execution from longer-term planning. This makes goal setting clearer because each horizon supports a different planning timeframe.
Why the other options are incorrect
Short-term success belongs to horizon one, not horizon two.
Long-term success belongs to horizon three, not horizon two.
Omit or de-prioritize describes prioritization, not a defined horizon in the three horizon framework.
