same subject In the following process, the number of headlines will be reduced by clustering<br />
them into umbrella terms or <strong>are</strong>as. When this is completed the participants should list the headlines<br />
in order of priority for working with during the next phase of the workshop. The key question<br />
then to be answered is: Which <strong>are</strong> the most promising headlines for further development<br />
An easy way to do this is for participants to vote with each participant having one or more<br />
votes, as appropriate. As a result of the vote the participants now have some common visions<br />
for the future, upon which they agree, visions that they will try to implement in the next phase<br />
of the workshop!<br />
2. The Implementation Phase<br />
In the Implementation Phase the visions <strong>are</strong> confronted with reality, and the most important<br />
question to be answered is: Which one of them is mostly likely to become a reality in the near<br />
future In the Implementation Phase the participants can involve experts to help them and it<br />
also might be necessary to gain further information through research, e.g. using the internet,<br />
which can enrich the discussions. After the visions from the Fantasy Phase have been confronted<br />
with reality, there will only be a few visions remaining which seem to have the potential to be<br />
implemented in society in the near future – however some of the rest of them might still be useful<br />
as a goal for the group. The Implementation Phase will end with an action plan which will be<br />
elaborated upon. The action plan will describe what needs to be done by whom and when as a<br />
concrete follow-up to the workshop.<br />
Exercise<br />
Select a topic of your choice and test whether or not the Visionary Workshop is an appropriate tool<br />
for a group with limited time to create promising visions! One hint: select topics which <strong>are</strong> close to<br />
your own life, interests and expertise – perhaps even in connection with the application that is<br />
planned to be submitted at the end of this course!<br />
