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 4 December 2024
Today’s prompts are supercomputers, weather forecasting innovations, citizen revolution, navigating uncertainty, animal brain-inspired systems, shape-changing materials, hibernation, data beams, and additive manufacturing.
Use the prompts to question relevance, opportunity vs threat, if vs when, timelines, impact and responses. Consider multiple futures.
It is time to start (or grow your) citizen development initiatives.
