Systemic social innovation involves the fundamental transformation of the systems of society on which we all depend – such as healthcare, housing, education or energy. This is rarely achieved through a single organization or sector, but involves a complex interaction of public policy and reforms to legislation, changes to business cultures and practices, as well as shifts in consumer attitudes and behaviour. In this, report of the Social Innovation Europe initiative (SIE) the authors make the case for systemic innovation. They explain what systemic innovation is, elaborate particular strategies for transforming whole systems, look at the areas where Europe is already taking a lead in driving forward systemic change, and make recommendations which they believe could help support systemic social innovation going forward.
