Identify and select improvement opportunities
How identify and select improvement opportunities are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Identify and select improvement opportunities 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 score relies on the APQC lens 'Manage business processes' and the activity description ('identify, analyze, and improve existing business processes'). This points strictly to cognitive, information-transformation work—such as process mapping, data analysis, and strategic planning—which is natively addressable by software and typical of remote-capable knowledge work, driving a strong digital scalar.
