Where are you on the hype cycle? Dr. Scott McLeod Director of Innovation, Prairie Lakes AEA 8

Early publicity produces a number of success stories - often accompanied by scores of failures. Some organizations take action; many do not. let's try it

A potential technology breakthrough kicks things off. Early proof-of-concept stories and media interest trigger significant publicity. Often no usable products exist and organizational viability is unproven. not so sure about this

Interest wanes as experiments and implementations fail to deliver. Producers of the technology shake out or fail. Investments continue only if the surviving providers improve their products to the satisfaction of early adopters. no thanks

More instances of how the technology can benefit the organization start to crystallize and become more widely understood. Second- and third-generation products appear from technology providers. More organizations fund pilots; conservative institutions remain cautious. okay, maybe it has some value

Mainstream adoption starts to take off. Criteria for assessing provider viability are more clearly defined. The technology’s broad organizational applicability and relevance are clearly paying off. part of regular routine
