-In summary, from the debrief session about the [[scenario design 201310]] with Tina, Valentina, Tim, Istvan, Alberto, Rarita, Sarah, Nik & Maja.+In summary, from the debrief session about the [[future_fabulators_legacy]] and [[fear]] with Tina, Valentina, Tim, Istvan, Alberto, Rarita, Sarah, Nik & Maja.
  
-The biggest issue remains how to narrow things down to a few critical uncertainties without loosing the richness of collected internal and external change drivers.+Most people (except Istvan) found the process rich, intriguing and relevant, albeit very intensive. Having the scenario session at the beginning of a kick-off meeting of a European Project meant that the otherwise tedious administrative details were dealt with more playfully. The participants were more engaged in creative conversations than in conventional meetings and felt quickly connected to each other as a tightly knit community. We got to know how we work under pressure, what our assumptions are about the world we live in, what we think about the future of our project etc.

   * The process shouldn't be derailed while it is unfolding, for the sake of group dynamics, timing and concentration. Divert the process suggestions until the debrief (which should be seen as an essential part of the process)   * The process shouldn't be derailed while it is unfolding, for the sake of group dynamics, timing and concentration.

   * The issue of divided attention and unrelated communication due to internet use remains problematic - it continues to result in off-topic remarks and conversations breakers, which in an intense meeting disrupts conversations and flow. Perhaps clearer instructions about time and place for external communication and unrelated work would help (before 10h and after 17h wasn't enough).   * The issue of divided attention and unrelated communication due to internet use remains problematic - it continues to result in off-topic remarks and conversations breakers, which in an intense meeting disrupts conversations and flow.

-  * Computer is useful for note taking and on-topic browsing, but it's difficult for the facilitator and participants to know what is going on. Using tablets rather than laptops might be visually less disruptive and the content could be more easily shared. Tangible and heads-up interfaces or a large shared desktop could be interesting to explore. +  * Computer is useful for note taking and on-topic browsing, but it's difficult for the facilitator and participants to know what is going on.
