Gartner Hype Cycle meets GVSU DX Strategy
May 23, 2023
Faculty, staff, and students can access a wealth of technology-focused information, resources, and research using a GVSU login from the Gartner Campus Access web page. One of the most popular resources available is Gartner’s Hype Cycles.
Hype Cycles are graphic representations that visually illustrate the maturity, relevance, and adoption rates of technology over time. In fact, technologies are mapped onto a timeline beginning with their initial innovation trigger, followed by their level of inflated expectations. Technologies are then tracked through a trough of disillusionment, eventually leading to a slope of enlightenment, and finally a plateau of mainstream productivity.
By leveraging the use of Hype Cycles, new opportunities and solutions can be explored as they relate to business challenges. In addition, they are valuable to review as they help to inform strategy and offer guidance on digital transformation roadmaps.
Here are a few of the popular Hype Cycles offered by Gartner:
·Hype Cycle for K-12 Education
·Hype Cycle for Higher Education
·Hype
Cycle for Emerging Technologies
Zeroing in and focusing the spotlight on GVSU and the Digital
Transformation Strategy (http://www.gvsu.edu/it/vp/dx),
the above Hype Cycle was created to overlay the University’s key
digital priorities alongside Gartner’s research.
