| Innovation | The key difference between an invention and an innovation is that the latter involves changing the practice (or in business terms the success on the market). Otherwise both are intended to make life easier or better, and the work more effective or efficient. Hence we talk about 'systemic innovation,' which accomplishes those same goals through real-life systemic change (see the Vision). | DK? | | |

| Journalism | There is an ambiguity here: When we talk about 'journalism' we really mean 'public informing.' We don't make this distinction explicit, because part of our journalism game is exactly to make a switch from journalism as a traditional profession to journalism as public informing (a key systemic function). | | | |
