Hence, principles on how to orient innovation systems through future scenarios require representation and collaboration as well as the integration of different modes of future thinking

elements of good practices and principles on how to strengthen innovation systems through future scenarios are identified. This is needed because innovation itself needs to be oriented along more sustainable pathways enabling transformations of socio-technical systems. 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Reflexive inquiry Innovation Scenario practice Grand challenges 1. Introduction In the context of this paper, future scenarios can be seen as narratives set in the future to explore how the society would change

Future scenarios substantially differ from predictions, i e.,, extrapolations or trends, substituting the criterion of plausibility for probability 1. Scenarios are not equivalent to images of the future,

and using future scenarios Scenario analysis is practiced across many domains and is restricted not to specialized futurists or scenario specialists 3. Developing and using scenarios can contribute at various levels of society by generating appropriate inputs for planning

& Social Change Developing and using future scenarios can: -contribute to society's strategic intelligence by stimulating future-oriented thinking

we analyze several scenario exercises to better understand the role future scenarios can play as a tool for orienting innovation systems.

and using future scenarios present a window of opportunity to effectively drive decisions?(ii) How can developing

and using future scenarios enhance the legitimacy for action?(iii) How can developing and using future scenarios provide evidence to decision-makers empowering the stakeholders involved?

The three questions represent a specific perspective linking action and decision-makingwith issues of (i) emergence,

and using future scenarios in the case studies from Appendix 1 . When the motivation is oriented towards developing scenarios,

where the motivation is oriented towards using the future scenarios for strategic discussions. The focus here is less on

and timeframe revealing windows of opportunity thus linking decision-making with future scenarios. The legitimizing aspect of this is the creation of a common understanding of challenges

and using future scenarios to inspire innovation do not only deal with the collection of data and models;

and how future scenarios can inspire innovation. 3 http://www. naturalstep. org/./438 P. De Smedt et al./

The question that emerges is how we can learn from using and developing future scenarios to assist in the orientation of innovation systems?

and using future scenarios present a window of opportunity to effectively drive decisions?;(ii) How can developing

and using future scenarios enhance the legitimacy for action?;and (iii) How can developing and using future scenarios provide evidence to decision-makers empowering the stakeholders involved?.

By questioning representation from a policy perspective and deconstructing future scenario practice, we were able to (re) construct findings to the above questions:(

Principles on how to orient innovation systems through future scenarios will require conditions for collaboration. Table 2 Linking groups of future scenario practice from a policy perspective with modes of future thinking.

or contributions to the enablers for orientating innovation systems through future scenarios (i e. pros and cons). Our analysis of the case studies listed in Appendix 1 suggests that a variety of modes of futures thinking,

we argue that future scenarios developed with a combination of well-designed modes of futures thinking will provide richer future images that go beyond the probable that is determined by the past and present.

and discussed the applicability of future scenarios as narratives to represent different perspectives on present and future developments.

and using future scenarios as a tool for orienting innovation systems. Our analyses of the scenario case studies from Appendix 1 revealed elements of good practice and implications on how to better address innovation through future scenarios.

For instance different modes of futures thinking have been identified through the process of deconstruction. In this paper, we argue that these modes of futures thinking are shown to contribute in different ways to orientating innovation systems.

We also want to Table 3 Different modes of futures thinking for orienting innovation systems via future scenarios.
