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 26 November 2024
Today’s prompts are squid pills, XR wearables, strategy development, smart fabric, new tech, tiny houses, Neuralink and robotics, and reprogramming skin.
Use the prompts to question relevance, opportunity vs threat, if vs when, timelines, impact and responses. Consider multiple futures.
Mind controlled robots……… surrogates?
Forget Needles. These Squid-Like Pills Will Spray Drugs Into the Gut Instead.
The pills mimic a squid-like jet to “spray” their cargo into tissue. They make use of two spraying mechanisms. One works best in larger organs, such as the stomach and colon. Another delivers treatments in narrower organs, like the esophagus.

Strategy In A VUCA World: The Importance Of Coherence And Clarity
If you want a fresh perspective, improved situational awareness, expanded time horizons, and improved strategy development capability, you might want to use my strategy development programme. See https://www.ronimmink.com/strategy-development/
Smart Fabric Gets Smarter with Squid-Inspired Temperature Controls
https://www.thomasnet.com/insights/squid-inspired-smart-fabric/
Inspired by squid skin, the developers believe they can manufacture a material that is both washable and breathable and can be incorporated into existing flexible fabrics. The key to this new material, however, is its ability to control its temperature.
How to get more value from your new tech? Five technologists weigh in
The right strategy, talent, processes, and culture also need to be in place for tech to deliver on its potential.

A new trial will expand the N1 brain implant’s functionality from PCs to a robotic arms.
Scientists Transform Ordinary Skin Cells Into Sweat Glands, Offering New Hope For Burn Survivors
Scientists have discovered a way to reprogram common skin cells into functional sweat glands using a combination of six chemical compounds. This non-genetic approach circumvents the safety concerns associated with traditional cell modification methods, offering a safer path to tissue regeneration.
