From my dashboard of 12 October
The topics to think about (and discuss in your company) are measuring your level of intrapreneurship, circular design, impact before profit, paper based circuit boards, wireless energy, geothermal batteries, an algorithm as your boss, blockchain, grit or quit, AI making music and genetic mutation (and X-men).
Tip:?Watch x-men. How far off do you think it is?
Intrapreneurship, growth through innovation
An overview of research work we did for the EC, including an ability to measure and improve your intrapreneurship capability.
Food for thought on circular design and who should own the built environment

A global wireless energy matrix, which would instantly beam renewable energy via satellite between any two points on Earth.
Geothermal May Beat Batteries for Energy Storage
Use advanced geothermal reservoirs to store excess wind and solar power in the form of hot water or steam, and bring up that heat when wind and solar aren’t available, to turn turbines for electricity.
Your Boss May Soon Be an Algorithm. If They're Not One Already, That Is
The rise of algorithm management
How blockchain can transform the renewables market

Grit or Quit? Tactical Advice for Founders Facing Tough Company Building Decisions
The aversion to quitting is so strong that that merely saying the word is almost like uttering “Macbeth” in a theater —?even the mention might invite misfortune. Instead, we opt for softer euphemisms, like “pivoting,” “iterating,” or “going in a different direction.”
AI music generators could make the next hit
AI-powered platforms are turning their generative capabilities to music, spitting out clips created from an algorithm trained on hundreds of hours of existing music.
A genetic mutation in one key protein may significantly boost athletic performance
Watch X-men. Once we start playing LEGO with genetics, will that be the future of genetic mutations?
