Bootstrapping
A method for systemic innovation, where the developers enact the human part of the system amongst themselves. Bootstrapping is roughly synonymous to "being the systems we want to see in the world".
Community of impact
A community of impact is defined with the help of the Ford Motor Company Formula:
Think of Henry Ford's success as a systemic innovation in transportation. When Henry Ford succeeded in mass-producing automobiles, and thereby making them available as a means of massive, basic transportation, then the opportunity opened up for a variety of successful business ventures: in oil drilling; gas stations; automobile tires; automobile insurance; road building...
And vice-versa: the existence of successful businesses in all those areas was necessary for Henry Ford's success.
The analogy with the kind of systemic interventions we have in mind with the FMC of course breaks down at one point: The automobile-based transportation turned out to be a less-then-perfect one. And yet to change this — or anything else — a similar kind of success is needed.
A community of impact is created to bootstrap, and enable, the necessary alignment.
Without alignment, each initiative may need to adapt to — and be successful with respect to — the existing world order; and hence contribute to this world order.
To 'change the world', re-alignment is the key capability.
Systemic innovation
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 20th century innovations were things: the airplane, the washing machine, radio controller... Characteristic 21st century innovations will be systems. The positive impact will be similar in scope, much more positive in effect.
