Scenario prompts 11 January 2024; the impact of the trends in robotics on your business model

Scenario prompts help in ongoing strategy development and develop your change muscle. Ask yourself a number of questions:

• Does it resonate? Why?
• Is it relevant?
• Is it a hard or soft trend?
• Opportunity or threat?
• Will it impact now or in the future?
• Is the impact internal or external?
• Who should know?
• Does it link with other trends?
• What are the possible scenarios? Think extreme.
• How should we respond?

If you require assistance, please leave your contact details?here. I will reach out to set up a complimentary Zoom call, promising you, at the very least, an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation.

Today′s topics to consider are indoor solar, pothole repairs, the adaptability paradox, robotics and embodied AI, industrial robots and techno optimism.

My scenario prompt for today is the impact of the trends in robotics on your business model.
