Abstract: This article explores what is known about antecedents of innovation and which antecedents are most often mentioned in the literature and examines some case studies of governments and non-profit organizations that have emphasized innovation. They exhibited similar factors. The case studies, especially the Government of Canada, revealed the importance of extensive, funded, top-down but assistive initiatives in their cases, particularly focussed on economic projects and the importance of consistent support and implementation over a substantial period of time. Its effectiveness in addressing the need for systemic innovation examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
