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.
Scenario prompts are the first step of strategy development. If you want to improve your own strategic planning abilities, we have developed a simple four-step programme that will help develop the collective strategy muscle of your organisation.
If you want more information, feel free to contact me.
The topics are gene editing, digital minimalism, risk scenarios, stem cell brain implants, skin, human touch, writing in water, microbiome, autonomous warbots and brains on a chip.

10 个月Great summary. This chapter provides foundational information on cellular organisms, DNA structure, gene replication, RNA, and the significance of genes in inheritance and biological processes. It then delves into gene editing and the revolutionary CRISPR-Cas9 technology and how Data Science and AI are improving this technology even further. All cellular organisms have DNA, which is a double helical structure composed of four nucleotides, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. DNA replication involves enzymes creating new strands with the help of nucleotides available in the cellular fluid. Hence, to replicate, viruses need a cellular host from which they can obtain these nucleotides. Hence, understanding and modifying genes poses crucial challenges in biology and medicine. CRISPR-Cas9, developed in 2012 by Charpentier and Doudna, mimics a bacteria's defense mechanism against viruses. This gene-editing tool creates mutations, enabling targeted gene disruption and leveraging the cell's repair machinery for alterations. The CRISPR-Cas9 technique has revolutionized genetic engineering, offering unprecedented precision and cost-effectiveness. More about this topic: https://lnkd.in/gPjFMgy7
