Assess new technologies
How assess new technologies are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Assess new technologies is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: With no child occupations seeded, I relied on the APQC Lens category 'Define the business concept and long-term vision' and the process description. The described tasks—conducting surveys, tracking utility, arranging management reviews, and performing desk research for viability assessments—are fundamentally cognitive, information-transformation activities, placing this work firmly in the digital band.

- Survey advancements in currently deployed technologies
- Identify new and potentially disruptive innovations
- Gather input from operational personnel and management
- Explore contingent use cases for identified technologies
- Conduct desk research and physical scoping
- Evaluate deployment feasibility and business viability
- Present final technology assessment recommendations
Outcome: A formalized viability assessment dictates whether the organization adopts, pilots, or monitors the evaluated technologies.
