Scenario prompts are a way to develop responses to trends and train your change muscle, making you more successful. If you want to talk about scenario prompts for you and your organisation, you can book a free appointment here. If you want me to speak at your event, contact me at ron@ronimmink.com
Scenario prompts 28 November 2024
Today’s prompts are soft robots, resilience, calm tech, the top 5 tech trends, data, AI being able to touch, molecular robotics and EOYPAFNYSDP (online or in sunny Spain).
Use the prompts to question relevance, opportunity vs threat, if vs when, timelines, impact and responses. Consider multiple futures.
How usable is your data.
