Most successful intros of innovative products or services -- into key target markets -- have been driven by a myriad of factors: disciplined approach, great timing, flawless execution, etc.  Yet many other breakthrough solutions … often 70-80% ... fail within 6 to 12 months of launch. 

What then, might account for the different outcomes?  Certainly, the products/services themselves might not have been well considered or engineered, but in many cases, it was the disruptive nature of the products that led to their downfall -- a downfall that might have been prevented with a more systematic and market-centric approach.

Whether you work in Big Data, AI, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, IoT, Advanced Analytics, or similar technologies -- a daunting challenge is to gain traction in the mainstream market.  My Chasm Institute partner Mark Cavender and I have over 150 examples of innovative new tech solutions, and why they thrived or failed in mainstream markets.
