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. If you want me to speak at your event, contact me at ron@ronimmink.com
Scenario prompts 3 December 2024
Today’s prompts are VR teleporting, world building, tech that died in 2024, sweaters, exoskeletons, Tesla Optimus, an ultrasound patch, batteries, agent engineering, and photonics.
Use the prompts to question relevance, opportunity vs threat, if vs when, timelines, impact and responses. Consider multiple futures.
