I help organisations become future-fit. #Mindcandy scenario prompts are part of that. They are designed to stretch your imagination, sharpen situational awareness, and spark opportunity thinking. Find out more here.
Scenario Prompts – 6 November 2025
The scenario prompt for today is change management is dead. Change activation is in. Same applies for innovation. Focus on future fitness or indeed change activation. In a world of introspective AI, bio-printing and bio-integrated brain implants at the size of a a grain of salt, it is all about the ability to respond.
The other prompts to expand your lens today are:
- You are the upgrade, a summary of 25 books about AI, the conclusion is augmented natural intelligence as the way forward
- Robotic smelling
- Tiny, wireless, brain implants
- Liquid metal (for sensors)
- An introspective AI
- Bacteria growing octopus camouflage pigment
- Bioprinting, organoids, & organs-on-a-chip
You are the upgrade

Brain-inspired chips are helping electronic noses better mimic human sense of smell
https://techxplore.com/news/2025-11-brain-chips-electronic-noses-mimic.html
By integrating two bio-inspired elements, researchers are building autonomous, low-power electronic noses that can detect and distinguish smells that older systems can’t.
Neural implant tinier than a grain of salt tracks brain activity wirelessly for a year

The device, called a microscale optoelectronic tetherless electrode (MOTE), represents a major step toward long-term, minimally invasive neural monitoring and bio-integrated sensing.
New ‘liquid metal’ composite material enables recyclable, flexible and reconfigurable electronics
Researchers created a recyclable composite material made of tiny droplets of liquid metal infused into a stretchy polymer. The droplets, pictured in this microscope image, can be connected easily together to form an electrical circuit
