Why Origami?
At a Bowie Baysox game, got a chance to have a table and engage with some folks around this initiative. It’s not necessarily the best place for talking about re-engineering complexity through coaching and consulting, but was an opportunity and a lot of lessons were learned. One of the more obscure lessons and opportunities came with the thought of using origami as a tool on the table to draw people in and ignite some interest. Continue reading →

Brilliant Labs’ Frame AI Glasses Initial Impression 👓
As I arrived at the breakfast place, was a bit excited to share with a friend these new glasses. They were no different than the ones I usually wear in the way they looked, but they were definitely different in the way they acted. I took the glasses out of the case to put them on. Then turned on my iPad Pro to connect the glasses to them. I got a message: “you must unpair the glasses in order to pair them with this device. Continue reading →

Choosing Other Paths
Why do we do what we do in the business of selling? From business cards, to networking events, to newsletters the products that are “just get your name out there,” and etc., why do we do what we do? Are we doing it because it’s a template that affirms and establishes trust to those people that we say we want to purchase something from us? Are we doing it because it establishes some type of reputation that’s easy to grasp because there’s only so much time in the day and so many ways to connect with the different products and services that come along?

Being Attentive
If you’ve got an iPhone/iPad, and you go into Settings; then down to Safari; then down to Advanced, you’ll see this menu called Website Data… That’s like a temp-ish storage area for the sites you’ve visited, and many you haven’t but have some presence on your device. Now, you can go thru those one at a time, deleting the items which are unfamiliar. Or, you can remove all of them at once. Continue reading →

AI As Accessibility Tooling
Do you need AI, or just a better memory? In some past engagements, one of the superpowers exercised has been that of relational-associative memory. Specifically, the power to remember the threads between decisions, even having some assets to remind others of those decisions. When one looks at the landscape for some of the uses of artificial intelligence, we see it being leveraged as a replacement for memory. That gets us down the line of asking if we are replacing the wrong aspects of ourselves with these tools, instead of using these tools to strengthen that muscle? Continue reading →

Updates to the Everysight Maverick Experiment
The Everysight Maverick Developer Edition is a pair of augmented reality/heads up display (HUD) glasses, which were released in order to help the company establish a solid foundation with developers before commercial releases would happen. We purchased these in anticipation of understanding the hardware, getting some sense of its usability, and potentially working with the software development kit ((SDK)). this post serves as something of an update to the research, some of the lessons learned, and a bit of a wish list for this and similar products.

From Scope to Strategy to Tactics
One of the more challenging aspects of this Avanceé initiative has been in taking some/most of the insights from engagements and distilling them into more widely understood content. Journaling from past experiences can be a heuristic to leverage. Without giving away any proprietary information, can speak of an attempt to shift an executive view from day-to-day reactions, to scoping industry verticals/trends, towards proposing tactics shaped by known constraints and future trends.

Measuring Outcomes
A friend asked, “how do you know what to measure?” My answer came with a caveat, “measuring only matters where outcomes are clear, shared, and honored.” We then talked about what it looked like to structure onboarding behaviors for new persons to a company or project team. We started not with “here’s what the team needs you to know,” but with “here’s what your job description dictates what you can do, will support us in doing, and how we will support you.
