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 are Elon Musk, IKEA, bioprinting hearts in space, making an AI clone of yourself, sustainability, human embryo models, tunneling, palm reading, leakage detection and spatial computing.
Elon Musk should be part of your information board

Ikea’s radical innovation studio is shutting down forever
https://www.fastcompany.com/90944990/ikeas-radical-innovation-studio-is-shutting-down-forever?
Space10’s work has effectively woven itself into the corporate structure of Ikea, thereby rendering itself obsolete.
Bioprinted Hearts in Space: Belgium’s Quest to Unlock the Secrets of Cardiac Aging
First, a mini heart is bioprinted on Earth using bioink and living cells. Next, researchers create an artificial blood system that nourishes the heart. This heart model will then be sent to space to speed up its aging process.
You can now make an AI clone of yourself — or anyone else, living or dead — with Delphi
Simply upload as few as four documents containing your communications to it — and as many as thousands, including emails, chat transcripts, even YouTube videos or audio files such as podcasts or voicemails — and Delphi will create an AI chatbot that mimics, as closely as it can, your personality, manner of writing, or speaking

Human embryo models grown from stem cells
https://phys.org/news/2023-09-human-embryo-grown-stem-cells.html?
These synthetic embryo models had all the structures and compartments characteristic of this stage, including the placenta, yolk sac, chorionic sac and other external tissues that ensure the models’ dynamic and adequate growth.
Why Tunnels Could Build Tomorrow’s Cities
https://every.to/p/the-frontier-of-boring
The clock is ticking on the need for better tunneling technology. The planet is starting to feel the effects of climate change, and atypical weather patterns are wreaking havoc on our existing infrastructure.

A neural network learned from images of millions of artificial hands to achieve accuracy higher than scanning two irises.
New system uses a camera to detect building air leakage in real-time
Leaky buildings can be a major concern for homeowners as they indicate a decline in energy efficiency and can lead to higher energy bill. If you are concerned about water leakage have a look at https://www.mysmartflow.uk/ (one of my clients).
