I empower innovative, purpose driven companies by crafting compelling visions for the future. Make them more compelling for all stakeholders. Strategist, positive futurist, coach, advisor, mentor, author and speaker.
Mind candy are prompts to help you to keep up to date, develop strategic responses to trends and train your change muscle, making you more resilient and agile for the future. If you need help with developing these prompts, you can book a free appointment here. If you want me to speak at your event, contact me at [email protected]
How to use the prompts
Become a trend watcher yourself. Use these prompts to explore their relevance, assess opportunities and threats, and analyse timelines and impacts on your organisation. Consider multiple possible futures across varying time horizons—1, 3, 5, and 10 years.

Imagine a world where innovation never sleeps
AGI could now arrive as early as 2026 — but not all scientists agree
Predictions on the dawn of the AI singularity vary wildly but scientists generally say it will come before 2040, according to new analysis, slashing 20 years off previous prediction. Read https://www.ronimmink.com/we-are-now-entering-the-steep-part-of-the-exponential/
Paralyzed man controls robot arm for record 7 months with new brain chip
Most BCIs previously available have a two-day maximum shelf life with a possibility of disruption, however, this one astonishingly operated for a full seven months without major recalibration.

The future of innovation lifecycles: AI-orchestrated and semiautonomous
Top Leadership Trends for 2025: Essential Practices for Success
EI, AI, DEI, agility, hybrid work, well being, purpose, data, and sustainability.
Who gets to do strategy?
You can work on strategy from anywhere in an organization, it just requires different tactics to do so.
Forget about your carbon footprint. Try ‘climatemaxxing.
Climate action is a guilt trip. Let’s make it aspirational instead.
Why fast-learning robots are wearing Meta glasses

Robots that wear smartglasses might be the future of ubiquitous, mainstream robots for everyone.
Researchers Create Gel That Can Self-Heal Like Human Skin
Researchers are the first to develop a hydrogel with a unique structure, opening the door to applications such as drug delivery, wound healing, soft robotics sensors and artificial skin.
Super sapphire: Next-gen moth eye-inspired material defies dust, scratches, and glare
Imagine having phone screens and windows that never catch any dust and can’t have any scratches.
Revolutionary 3D Bioprinter Creates Human Tissue Structures in Seconds
Biomedical engineers have developed a 3D bioprinting system capable of creating structures that closely replicate various human tissues, ranging from soft brain tissue to more rigid materials like cartilage and bone.
