Navigating the Future of Innovation: A Taxonomy of Exponential Thinking & Technologies and Their Applications
In today’s post, I present A Taxonomy of Emerging Technologies and Their Applications, based on the taxonomy from Singularity. Singularity is an American company that offers executive educational programs, a business incubator, and business consultancy services. The Singularity Taxonomy is illustrated in the following network graph:
This taxonomy is divided into two main groups: applications and topics of interest in technology. The Singularity perspective examines technologies through the lens of their applications on an individual, organizational, and societal level. The other group focuses on the mindset and exponential technologies.
In this hierarchy, each category (there are five) has its subcategories (a total of 24), and each subcategory contains its focus areas (229 in total). As for the number of Focus Areas for each Category, they are broken down as follows: Technology (99), Societal (39), Organizational (38), Mindset (30) and Individual (23). The following table summarizes this hierarchy with the number of focus areas for each subcategory.

Based on the information presented in the Graph Network with Singularity’s Taxonomy, I constructed a normalized dataset that allows me to create a Dashboard Table using Tableau.

In this dashboard, you can search for the focus area of interest. You can select between topics or applications or choose a category or subcategory you wish to explore. In the column next to the focus area, you’ll find a colored circle that, when hovered over, will display the definition of that focus area.
Feel free to dive into the dashboard and explore the rich landscape of emerging technologies and their applications!
Here you can consult dashboard in Tableau Public.
