I’ve long used a pendulum framework for scanning: push a trend to its extreme, then ask what counter-reaction it produces. Globalisation produces deglobalisation. Efficiency produces burnout. The pendulum never stops — it swings, and organisations that build strategy around one extreme get caught when it reverses. There is more than one Most leaders assume there’s only

I am a huge fan of Jason Silva. Particularly, his latest post about the “latent space and the new literacy of the AI age” hits a nerve. I need to go back a bit. To reading Dan Simmons´ Hyperion. While having a glass of wine on the beach in Spain. The common denominators are latent

The implications for white-collar work. The implications for the knowledge economy. I missed the deeper signal entirely. It took me months to see it. The

On 22 February 2023, I published a scenario prompt containing 3D-printed batteries, low-code AI, GPS tag darts, nuclear fusion and killer robots. No single signal told me much on its own. What mattered was the sentence underneath them: technology abstraction means everyone plays LEGO with technologies. Technology abstraction means everyone plays LEGO with technologies Technologies
My first scenario prompt (#Mindcandy) was about electrodes, brains and octopuses. It was February 2023. Swedish researchers had grown electrodes inside living brain tissue using a viscous gel. Not implanted. Not attached. Grown. In the same edition: octopus brain activity mapped for the first time, 3D-printed hearts, liquid electronics, robot window washers.” The octopus came
