Abstract

This paper presents the Foresight Futures, a participative planning tool developed by SPRUScience and Technology Policy Research for the UK Foresight Programme. It describes the process of developing the scenario framework, sets out the key dimensions and basic storylines and summarises different ways in which the Foresight Futures have been applied by government, researchers and industry. Focusing on practical ways of using the scenarios, the final part of the paper provides guidance on their use and discusses the potential of the approach.
