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 18 September 2025
The scenario prompts for today is positive disruption. Leaning in gives you control. That starts with situational awareness and an information diet that gives you all the wonderful, fascinating things that are happening. Blowing your mind in a good way. It is very hard to stay pessimistic when you follow the trends. It cheers me up on end. That is why I am a positive futurologist.
The other prompts are 25 books about AI, handling disruption, e-commerce trends, culture, solar desalination, biocompatible and stretchable transistors, mirror life, and AI-designed Phages
