In this article, we explore the questions of systemic transformations and the building of an anticipaator culture in the context of VTT Technical research Centre of Finland.
First, we discuss the strategic development paths, anticipatory culture and systemic transformation capacities in the context of RTOS.
Second, we show how process-based roadmapping can be applied in building the systemic transformation capacities and anticipatory culture.

We explore the questions of systemic transformations in the context of Finnish RTO, namely VTT Technical research Centre of Finland,
and discusses the idea of anticipatory culture and its relations to systemic transformation capacities. Section 3 presents the notion of process-based roadmapping that is based on the identification of knowledge space and roadmap scope.
Strategic development paths and systemic transformation capacities An important starting point when building an anticipatory culture is the realisation that organisatiion act under constant temporal tension.

We argue for systemic transformation capacities based on the systemic-temporal paradox depicted in the introduction: strategies should build on robust historical paths,
'The first component of the systemic transformation capacities, enabling the mobile strategies, is a partial structural openness that endorses flexibility in responding to the systemic flows, such as changes in the business environment or in the customer's innovation processes.
Roadmapping as a frame for constructing systemic transformation capacities Roadmapping, strategy processes, and capacity building We suggest that roadmapping is a felicitous method for fostering
In the context of systemic transformation capacities, the generic process of roadmapping is coarsely the following:(

systemic transformation capacities can be built through the following three steps:(1) identification of relevant knowledge spaces,(2) specification of the relevant roadmap scope,
which the systemic transformation capacity is realised. The roadmap scope (below) refers to the level at which the roadmap is aimed.

The aim of the case examples is to depict concisely how the systemic transformation capacities can be fostered by roadmap exercises combinnin different roadmapping scopes and knowledge spaces.

which would be the optimal scenario in construuctin systemic transformation capacities. Thus, applying the project knowledge in changing organisational practices would still require further activation rounds.
Concluding remarks The article discussed the construction of the systemic transformation capacities in an RTO. It proposed that two kinds of systemic capacities are of importance:(

activation of the systemic transformation capacities is useful when responding to the so-called‘grand challenges',such as climate change or global resource scarcity.
First, the notion of systemic transformation capacities should be analysed from perspectives other than roadmapping. The lessons of the article could be ennobled by putting them in a dialogue with other foresight methodds such as scenario and weak signal analysis.
Second, systemic transformation capacities could also be catalysed by integrating novel ICT-based analysis tools. For example

The structure of the systemic transformation roadmap is presented in Fig. 1. This roadmap depicts the impacts of the objects under scrutiny (e g. new industrial practice and emerging service business) in an overall systemic level.
Fig. 2 presents the subset of a systemic transformation roadmap, the technology roadmap. The critical boundary of the technology roadmap is formed by the long-term vision defined in the systemic transformation roadmap.
The technology roadmap has four potential levels. What levels are utilized depends on the topic: in some cases it is enough to map just the enabling technologies,
