Anticipations are crucial in understanding sociotechnical change given their role in every stage of the process and they have a generative role in securing funding, ensuring coordination of groups of actors and across time (vertical and temporal coordination) (Borup et al. 2006). From use cases crafted to guide designers in the development to the definition of pilot implementation settings, yet-to-be-created artifacts are narratively artefacts are narratively placed in scenarios whose realisation is the first moment in which heterogeneous engineering is practised. In this respect, expectations inscribed in use cases participate in users’ configurations just as scripts embodied in the technical artefact (Grint & Woolgar 2013). Expectations regarding the reconfiguration of organisational and professional practices can be constructed in a rigorous and formalised manner. They can follow the detailed analysis of the context or even with the full involvement of future users, as in the traditions of Computer Supported Cooperative Work or Participatory Design. Or they can or simply be sketched to justify the new artifact and attract potential investors.</span><br></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 0.625em;padding:0px;border:0px;line-height:1.5em;font-size:1.05em;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Opensans,Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,254,252)">This panel intends to propose a reflection on a specific dimension of expectations focussing on those relating to new organisational configurations and new ways of interpreting professional roles. While imaginary organisations for reinvented professions can be created with the sole purpose to provide a working scenario for developers, they are part of a transformative-normative device that aims to shape new arrangements by proposing an ethos to which actors should conform. Scenarios illustrate the conditions under which technologies can exist, showing how organisations and practitioners must reconfigure themselves and anticipate who should be blamed if they fail. In this respect, organisational configurations and professions are both the precondition and the outcome of the introduction of technical innovations.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 0.625em;padding:0px;border:0px;line-height:1.5em;font-size:1.05em;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Opensans,Verdana,Geneva,Tahoma,sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255,254,252)">The panel aims at gathering and promoting confrontation between scholars working at the intersection of STS, organization and profession studies and design.
