I help organisations increase their value by making them future-fit. #Mindcandy scenario prompts are part of that programme. Find out more here.
Scenario prompt 17 September 2025
The scenario prompts for today is The Electrotech Revolution. There is a lot of doom and gloom, but abundant energy is around the corner. The book to read is Stellar. Combine that with AI and biotech and you getting a fundamentally different world/economy. How would you get your business to be restorative. In a world of abundance that is the only business model will make sense.
The other prompts are 25 books about AI, swarm intelligence, brain scanning, table-top fusion reactors, quantum-centric supercomputing, sci-fi, digital twinning of the sun and self healing solar glass.
