Innovation is seen as increasingly complex, interdependent and uncertain and therefore in need of broad and multidiscipplinar exploration and participation.
The conditions enhancing the development of each of these three broad groups of elements are shown by the second inner circles,
In infrastructure sectors or other projects of public interest the range of goals is likely to be very broad
In addition, business, policy making and the whole broad spectrum of decision making call for future-oriented technology analysis as well as risk assessment. Foresight methods and activities approve the uncertainty linked to the different futures

However, they argue that this engagement has sometimes been perceived too narrowly as being synonymous with the identification of broad technological priorities for investment.
It seeks to show an evolution away from a traditional focus on broad-based technological priority setting to a muchmore focussed and adapted set of applications.
where the openness extends through wider stakeholder involvement, a broad thematic perspective, an ongoing process, and a sensitivity to disruptive trends.
The traditional emphasis on production of broad-based priorities lists appears to be more of a historical phenomenon than a permanent feature,
It also requires a broad and long-term perspective on what is needed for sustainable human development and how to achieve its objectives. 3. Accountability of governmental institutions and private sector,

The knowledge and investigative capabilities needed to achieve this are broad and may be referred to as‘specialization in breadth and depth',a rare combination in a single individual or small group.

In addition, our analysis indicates that scenarios with a strong focus on consensus during the development are often too vague and too broad for defining tangible innovation opportunities.
but often too vague, too broad to inspire innovation Eventuality Possibility Explore contrasting futures and conceptualize future situations for the long-term where uncertainties are expressed differently Allows rigorously exploring boundaries and complexity.
The government established an internal Committee of Ministers and a broad-based Council for Globalisation,

The first findings were submitted then for assessment by a large numbbe of experts via a broad participatory tool, the Delphi survey.

as diversity hinders the formulation of broad and coherren initiatives. However, in spite of the diversity of the various creative content sub-sectors, the convergence of digital content and media has given already way to a growing convergence of future issues in these subsecttors Many of the challenges
The target audience for all national foresight exercises appeared to be broad in scope, with single exercises typically having multiple audiences.
