    Horizon Invest

    Bring stakeholders together to make better portfolio investment decisions. Horizon Invest supports investment decision-making with structured, auditable, and scalable decision sessions, capturing assumptions, trade-offs, and adjustments in real time.

    The Power of Horizon Invest

    • Opaque to Transparent

      Before: Budget decisions happen behind closed doors and portfolio leaders often lack insights and details to help them make decisions. Stakeholders lack opportunities to add context, knowledge and insights into the budgeting process and rarely see the data, trade-offs, or rationale used to set budgets - they just get told what was decided.

      With Horizon Invest: Everyone sees the same information in real-time. Investment options, constraints, and strategic priorities are visible to all participants. Decisions are made with more data and consistency, with more transparency, building trust and shared ownership and improving outcomes.

    • Adaptive Allocation

      Before: Budgets get set once a year and lack flexibility. When conditions change, you're stuck with outdated allocations that are time consuming to adjust.

      With Horizon Invest: Adjust portfolio allocations as business conditions evolve. Review investments quarterly or on-demand, reallocate funding based on current priorities, and respond to market changes without waiting for annual planning.

    • Strategic Alignment

      Before: Portfolio budgets aren't clearly connected to strategic priorities. It's hard to see if funding actually supports what matters most to the organization.

      With Horizon Invest: Map every investment to strategic themes and objectives. Visualize how portfolio funding aligns with organizational priorities. Identify gaps where strategy isn't adequately funded - and address them.

    • Zero-Based Thinking

      Before: "Last year plus (or minus) 10%" becomes the default. Investments continue because they always have, not because they still make strategic sense.

      With Horizon Invest: Support zero-based budgeting approaches where every investment is justified fresh each period. Challenge assumptions, identify duplication and hidden dependencies. eliminate legacy commitments that no longer serve strategy, and redirect funding to higher-value opportunities.

    • Cross-Functional Collaboration

      Before: Finance, product, engineering, and business leaders make portfolio decisions in isolation. Competing priorities create conflicts and misalignment.

      With Horizon Invest: Bring cross-functional stakeholders into the same conversation. Product leaders, finance partners, engineers, and executives collaborate on investment trade-offs - surfacing constraints early and building integrated decisions.
