On 22 February 2023, I published a scenario prompt containing 3D-printed batteries, low-code AI, GPS tag darts, nuclear fusion and killer robots. No single signal told me much on its own. What mattered was the sentence underneath them: technology abstraction means everyone plays LEGO with technologies. Technology abstraction means everyone plays LEGO with technologies Technologies […]
My first scenario prompt (#Mindcandy) was about electrodes, brains and octopuses. It was February 2023. Swedish researchers had grown electrodes inside living brain tissue using a viscous gel. Not implanted. Not attached. Grown. In the same edition: octopus brain activity mapped for the first time, 3D-printed hearts, liquid electronics, robot window washers.” The octopus came
The signal is not the answer. It is the prompt. Read More »
Use the #Mindcandy as a strategic sensing engine to help leadership teams identify the signals they are missing, the assumptions they are protecting, and the moves they need to make before disruption becomes visible on the P&L. It fuels the strategic conversation about what is next. DM “SESSION” if you want to find out more.

Recently we started exploring mental sandboxing. The question we asked is if you have a failure fund (nobody does) and how to create space to experiment mentally (without having to spent a fortune). June’s Mindcandy 2026 archive shows exactly why it is needed. The summary June’s Mindcandy archive was not a set of separate posts.
