Develop new technologies
How develop new technologies are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 80% of the work in Develop 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, this scalar is derived from the PCF lens 'Generate and define new product/service ideas' and the process description. Activities like developing models, assessing results with executives, and coordinating offshore or crowdsourced R&D represent high-level information transformation and knowledge work. While the end applications span physical industries like aerospace and life sciences, the core work of defining and generating these new technologies operates digitally.

How the work flows
Trigger: A strategic capability gap, market trend, or technological opportunity prompts the initiation of targeted research and development.
- Identify technological gaps and market opportunities
- Evaluate internal capabilities versus external sourcing options
- Develop conceptual models and prototypes
- Test prototypes against performance and market criteria
- Review outcomes with senior executives and product designers
- Finalize the technology for portfolio integration
Outcome: A validated technological model, process, or implement is approved and ready for integration into existing or future solutions.
