Getting future fit with Ron´s scenario prompts

Based on the hundreds of books I have read about strategy, and the 1000ands of plaints I have worked with, I developed a concept called scenario prompts. Things to think and wonder about and to help you to become more more anticipatory, buy yourself the time to respond, develop your change muscle, and increase the quality of your strategy development,

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.

The real business signal isn’t “robot surgeons.” It’s this: high-trust, high-liability expert work is being targeted next. When capability becomes cheap, your advantage shifts to what can’t be commoditised: trust, accountability, data access, regulatory positioning, insurance risk, distribution, and brand.

Is Elon right? What if he is?

Leaders who mastered operational complexity are now expected to navigate ambiguity, interdependence, and second-order effects. Many can’t. Not because they’re stupid — but because their thinking model is obsolete.

The business owner question

Which of your core decisions would collapse if the future doesn’t behave the way your forecast assumes?

Robotics is quietly moving from single-purpose machines to modular, networked systems: This isn’t about robots replacing people. It’s about capability becoming fluid. When robotics becomes modular and networked, the advantage shifts:

From owning assets → to orchestrating systems.
From efficiency → to adaptability.
From scale → to learning speed.
Most business owners are still thinking in terms of tools. The real opportunity is platform logic applied to the physical world. If machines can reconfigure, learn collectively, and operate continuously, what parts of your business model quietly become obsolete?

Where in your organisation are you still optimising for coherence and control, when what you actually need is deliberate disruption of thinking? And what is the first decision, assumption, or strategy you would intentionally put through a “cognitive stress test” to surface blind spots you’re currently protecting? Time to take some psychedelics? #mindcandy #futurefit #leadership

Where in your business should you already be “playing LEGO” – modular, recombinable and abstracted away from technical complexity – and what is the first process, product or capability you will redesign as a smart brick? #mindcandy #futurefit #lego

It’s about agency. Who owns self-understanding when AI interprets your body, cognition, performance, and potential faster than you can? And what happens when your employees upgrade themselves faster than your organisation upgrades its assumptions?If your leadership model still assumes “the human” is a black box… you’re already behind.

Every year I outline scenario themes. Some landed. Most didn’t. That is the point. Strategy is not about predicting the future.

The advantage isn’t prediction. Future-proofing is a comforting illusion. The real edge is future fitness — the capability to sense earlier, decide faster, and act without perfect information.

The CEO question

Which capability is currently your weakest link — sensing, deciding, or acting — and what would you remove in the next 30 days to make it 2× faster?
