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.
Scenario prompts 30 October 2024
Use the prompts to question things such as relevance, opportunity vs threat, if vs when, timelines, impact and responses. Consider multiple futures.
Today’s prompts are change, the next big arenas of competition, mixed reality and warfare, the Astana Times (I was featured), electromagnetic shielding, carbon capture, slow down and go long, the EU investing in AI, low-carbon technologies, agritech and biotech, and vending machines are back.
