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 solar punk, digital transformation, insurtech, Ant-inspired AI brains, microbial fuel cells, mech suits, femtech and super thin solar cells.
Go read some solar punk.

MIT makes a super thin solar cell that can turn any surface into a power plant
These cells, thinner than a human hair and just one-hundredth the weight of standard solar panels, have the remarkable ability to turn almost any surface into a power source. This innovation is made possible by the use of semiconducting inks and scalable printing processes, resulting in a power-per-kilogram production 18 times greater than traditional solar panels.
