“…As shown in Figure 5, the Steps 1-10 of the ARI Methodology provide a template for progressing an identified "potential innovation", aided by competitive intelligence at each of the ten ARI Steps [55,59,63,[69][70][74][75][76][77].…”

“…Successful competitive assessment [52,55,63] of these challenges and how to overcome the identified hurdles leads to an innovation vision and business plan at the conclusion of the Inception Period, Step 6. This includes a business model needed to obtain and distribute value to all stakeholders, and a commercialization strategy for progressing the potential breakthrough innovation through the value chain identified at Step 7.…”

In-depth historical assessment of innovation over the past several hundred years shows that incremental innovation and cost reduction emphasized in the late 20 th Century will prove inadequate and even counterproductive in the 21 st Century for achieving sustained, global competitive advantage requiring radical innovation. The Accelerated Radical Innovation (ARI) Methodology, developed systematically over the past 5 years, has further addressed these requirements by utilizing systematic historical and real time case studies to articulate theory, tacit knowledge, techniques and tools for improving the radical innovation process.Ongoing ARI research since the PICMET'07 Conference has further confirmed the validity of the ARI Methodology, and developed improved techniques for measuring and guiding innovation progress, based on focused assessment of 10 Innovation Attributes at each of the 10 ARI steps. A systematic evaluation of successful radical innovation approaches, and quantitative assessment of the dynamics of four major radical innovations over the past 100 years by retrospective application of the ARI theory have been applied to better understand how to overcome the four types of challenges and hurdles inherent in achieving commercialization of breakthrough innovations.

“…This is done by the evaluators following a given set of principles, standards, and benchmarks. By themselves, quantitative data are devoid of relevance to the phenomenon under study-unless they are purposely inserted into an evaluation scheme by means of analytical frameworks (Kostoff, 2006;Mann, Mimno, & McCallum, 2006).…”

In-depth historical assessment of innovation over the past several hundred years shows that the incremental innovation and cost reduction emphasized in the late 20th century will prove inadequate and even counterproductive in the 21st century for achieving sustained, global competitive advantage requiring radical innovation. Accordingly, a comprehensive, holistic innovation life cycle model is needed.Ongoing research since the PICMET'07 Conference has confirmed this need for a viable model, and developed an Accelerated Radical Innovation (ARI) methodology as part of the life cycle framework for a viable model. A significant contribution of the ARI methodology has been to develop improved techniques for measuring and guiding innovation progress, based on focused assessment of 10 innovation attributes at each of the 10 ARI steps in the first two phases of a six-phase life cycle envisioned to describe any radical innovation life cycle. This paper first summarizes systematically the most prominent radical innovation approaches, including quantitative assessment of the dynamics of four major radical innovations over the past 100 years by retrospective application of the ARI theory and its associated four types of challenges and hurdles inherent in commercializing breakthrough innovations. It then proposes future research on a six-period innovation life cycle model as the basis for analysis of breakthrough innovations of all types.
