Horizon Portfolio

FlowRidge

A horizon portfolio allocates AI investments across three time horizons: near-term quick wins, medium-term capability building, and long-term strategic bets, ensuring continuous value while investing in future capabilities.

What this means in practice

For organizations, it prevents both short-termism and excessive speculation. In COMPEL, horizon portfolio design is covered in Module 4.1 on portfolio leadership.
