Concluding Observations
Prediction of disruption for the purposes of technology road-mapping is intrinsically difficult. There is no single methodology that will provide certain results. The SAILS methodology is a systematic approach to the problem that guides investigation to areas that are likely to provide insight into the existence of, or potential for, disruption. We believe that the use of this methodology can benefit the expert in that it can assist in broadening the range of possibilities considered beyond the ordinary. Further, we believe it also can help the junior engineer in that it points the way to some fertile areas for identifying potential disruptions.
