Scenario prompts are the first step of strategy development. If you want to improve your own strategic planning abilities, we have developed a simple four-step programme that will help develop the collective strategy muscle of your organisation. If you want more information, feel free to contact me.
Topics to consider are intelligent failure, liquid computers, strategy, brain implants, extended reality, eating insects, Africa, airless bike tires, tiny combustion engines, holograms, innovators under 35 and full-body avatars.
Holograms and avatars, consider what extended reality will mean to your business in the future.
