The Gartner Hype Cycle identifies 5 key phases in the life cycle of a technological innovation:
- (1) Innovation trigger
- (2) Peak of inflated expectations
- (3) Trough of disillusionment
- (4) Slope of enlightenment
- (5) Plateau of productivity, including mainstream adoption
- From inflated expectations to disillusionment
- "[history] is replete with technologies that seemed to be solutions for problems that were relatively intractable. Recent examples include blockchain, robotic process automation (RPA), the metaverse, and many others.
- All seemed to have a compelling value proposition, but ultimately failed to be adopted by the mainstream.
- The Gartner Hype Cycle illustrates the lifecycle of emerging technologies and blockchain, RPA and the metaverse all reached a peak of inflated expectations before descending into the trough of disillusionment."
- Paul Bramwell, enterprise treasury lead, Trovata - reported by Rebecca Brace - The Treasurer - Issue 3 of 2024, page 10.
