The Technology Adoption Life Cycle (aka the Innovation Adoption Curve) illustrates how new ideas, technologies, or products are adopted by people in their professional and personal lives.
Visualized as a bell curve, it’s divided into five categories:
- Innovators represent 2.5%: are known for being risk-takers, tech enthusiasts, and visionaries who are the first to adopt new innovations.
- Early Adopters represent 13.5%: are influential, trendsetters or organizations who adopt innovations early once they realize the potential value.
- Early Majority represent 34%: are pragmatic and adopt technology innovation only once it has proven its value and reliability.
- Late Majority represent 34%: are skeptical and conservative and adopt only after the majority of others have tried and proven the innovation.
- Laggards represent 16%: are the most resistant to change, adopting innovations last, if at all.
