TIPC believes that in order to tackle the huge social and environmental challenges facing humanity, the Second Deep Transition must be sustainable.
This requires a complete re-thinking of our current social-technical systems and societies. The next Deep Transition must differ from the First in that its starting point must be sustainability, rather than directionless. unchecked progress. One method that could provide direction into future transitions could be Transformative Innovation Policy (TIP).
We focus here on terms which underlie the rationale for TIPC and those that have received some attention in TIPC discussions and analysis.

Actors can be individuals working within organisations and across organisational boundaries (so networks or coalitions) and organisations
