We found that crystallizing concrete policy initiatives for innovation from long-term future images, i e. beyond twenty years, can be difficult.

When considered from the perspective of creating legitimacy for action we also suggest that the scenarios in this group could benefit fromcomplementary techniques connecting the long-term future images to the present via stepping stones.

But in contrast with the first group, change is described less by framing very different long-term future worlds.
