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.
You can't predict the future, but you can make smart business decisions today by understanding the latest technology and business trends. Hence mind candy. Feel free to share your own mind candy. Leave a comment, and if you have a question,?feel free to ask.
From my dashboard of 15 December 2022
The topics to think about (and discuss in your company) are the future, contamination, spectrometers, AlphaCode, innovation, KPIs (and serendipity), management, right to repair, aerographene and using CRISPR to wipe out mice.

Why the Future Is Unravelling
Futurity, anti-future and paradigm failure (will ruin your Xmas).
Our contaminated future
In Fukushima, communities are adapting to life in a time of permanent pollution: a glimpse of what’s to come for us all
A tool as small as a human cell can scan for contaminants and more
Tiny, portable spectrometers might someday fly on drones (like the one shown here) to monitor farm fields for pollutants or signs of crop disease. They could also become part of your phone.
