I help organisations increase their value by making them future-fit. #Mindcandy scenario prompts are part of that programme. Find out more here.
Scenario prompt 9 September 2025
The scenario prompt for today is how co-pilot has accelerated brain reading and is helping the development of brain computer interfaces. AI helped it to be 400% better. That acceleration is happing everywhere. With technology that you can play LEGO with. So you can expect an innovation explosion. You have a choice, you are the one doing the innovating or the innovating is done to you.
The other prompts are 25 books on AI, solar, crystals that breath, a bone repair gun, octopus inspired robots, system thinking, sensors you can spray and change management.
