Originally, did not focus on degree of implementation of results. Will be looking at this more and more in future. Focus is science and technology. Did this in part to leverage limited resources, in part to minimize acceptance issues, in part to allow cross-country evaluation. Marginal acceptance by government at first, but as became publicly acknowledged the government was more supportive.
Process is as important as the results.
It encourages people to think about the future. Program was not initially implementation oriented. However, currently putting more focus on implementation and participation. Scenarios are the only possible way to consider future states - since they allow for multiple futures to be considered. Emphasis of the activity is on teaching people to think in different ways, to change their mental maps.
