| Systemic Innovation Definition1 #330399 Innovation at the level of institutions, or more precisely (in Jantsch's jargon) "joint systems of society and technology". Examples of target 'systems' are public informing, governance, education, research... A subtlety is that even the work with a technical component may be considered systemic innovation — if that technical component may enable or drive also social-systemic change. |

- Characteristic 21st century innovations will be systems.
- The positive impact will be similar in scope, much more positive in effect.
