and analysis. The process element also highlighted the importance of the management process for foresight studies

and a revisit to roadmapping and TA and the role and management of experts. In the discussion it was pointed out that the increasing complexity of the strategic approaches called for a more complex form of foresight.

e g. no innovation-oriented research programme can be sustained successfully for a longer period without skilful management.

And whether that management counts as operational or strategic key to distinguishing between flexible and adaptive options is not so easy to say.

development of proactive risk assessment methodologies for different corporate risk management purposes (identiffyin the vulnerability of corporate and process actions, managing the risks in occupational, industrial and environmental safety, managing business risks, etc.),

Altogether, a substantial shift away from the fixed modelling and management towards more contingent and participatory approaches has taken place in all FTA areas.

Currently, different safety management standards guide the implementation of industrial safety at the plant level, e g.

The sociological approach to organisational management suggests that vulnerabilities are part of the natural logics of the corporate life 39

The aim was to study the possibilities of proactive risk assessment and management of critical infrastructures based on the integration of risk assessment and scenario development methods.

The project states that a good modelling tool would help to model the future interdependencies supported by an integration of the scenario work and the systematic risk assessment. 3. 2. Managing opportunities,

Fixed vs. autonomous management o Fixed management can be characterised as centralised approach in which co-ordinators fix the scope and methods of the exercise at the outset and control the process,

which is often the case for example in Delphi exercises. o Autonomous management, in turn, refers to the process intermediated by the co-ordinators,

and to create knowledge to help decision making in defining management strategies concerning the changes the future may cause.

As a result, there are two general shapes to Foresight studies that flow from early decisions about their procedures and management structure.

Extending participation introduces specific management and process needs if Foresight programmes are to be extended into the social sphere without becoming chaotic 3. Foresight ought to be concerned with three questions:

There have been many attempts to get the polity to become involved in the management, if that is the correct term, of the directions taken by science,

this will place special emphasis on the simplicity and directness of access to information and to the managing agency 11.

and management aspects where inclusivity is specified Use of pilot projects. 3. 2. 1. Human behaviour and its influence in Foresight studies The role of human behaviour in Foresight studies is ignored usually diminishing the understanding of the outcome.

management of the activity will need to deal with much greater volumes of raw opinion of highly variable content and quality.

the management and programme structures need to be matched, a simple truth but not easy to specify. 3. 2. 3. Organization for inclusivity Traditionally,

Day-to-day management of the programme typically has been delegated to a management group with a defined remit

reporting the outcome upwards and in parallel to the management group and the supra-committee. These arrangements are entirely conventional management practice,

but do they fit the purpose of inclusivity? As indicated above Inclusive foresight programmes will elicit a far wider range of opinion than ever encountered before

(i) the achievement of trust between wide groups of people who have widely differing behavioural characteristics and (ii) the management of a process in

For the management of Inclusive foresight situations are inevitable and their management is a strong feature of (ii) above.

In this way Inclusive foresight will involve fundamental reforms and changes in its current social approach.

Therefore, those wishing to develop strategies for managing nanotechnology emergence not only face the general challenge of prospecting possible pathways for innovation they also are challenged to prospect the changing environments

In this way, Constructive TA is an instance of the general shift in management (and tailored foresight) away from prediction towards reflexive anticipation and strategy making.

If van de ven's comment is true Management can't control innovation success only its odds 5 then this implies a shift from deterministic approaches to foresight
