Looking at one of the last snowfalls of the season out of the window, am reminded of there always being just a little bit more on deck than whatever might be planned or expected. In the project management space, we used to say something like, “whatever they give you as an estimate for the delivery, multiply it by 2.5. That’s your real number.” This often seems to be the case. We under/over-estimate at such a rate it is probably really more magical when our projects pan out exactly as stated. Continue reading →

Notable Reads for 22 Feb 🔗
Fast and slow. A reminder of the cold of winter, the persistence of bias, and the surprise of ingenuity. These swings are merely the moments of life’s extremes, with life being defined by what comes in between those moments. Still, there’s an unrelenting desire for those extremes at times. Perhaps because in the extremes we might figure out what is best understood about the shades in between. Philosophical? Perhaps. But, if your week were encased into a list of notable reads, what items would top that list? Continue reading →

Resonance… That word spoke to what kept coming back towards this week. Not simply because resonance is both noun and past-action verb, but because there’s something about the way some pieces of work have rippled across the ether which seems to invite something more to the cannon than what’s been given at the surface. “…”Resonance—there is no wisdom without it,” Birkerts writes. “Resonance is a natural phenomenon, the shadow of import alongside the body of fact, and it cannot flourish except in deep time.

Wrapping one’s head around all of this isn’t all that difficult unless you rely on the signals telling you what the patterns are doing. Signals follow the patters, they aren’t the patterns. What are the patterns? Well, this week’s collection of notable reads probably does well to highlight a few: Continue reading →

Notable Reads for 1 Feb 🔗
Throughly enjoy those moments where there’s a cross-pollination of experiences and talents. There’s something about getting wind of a perspective outside of your focus which elevates the nuances you might not have considered before. And even more, when those nuances point to life and market opportunities otherwise hidden because of the sustained focus your endeavor might bring. Now, doing something with that cross-pollination — like creating new markets, or improving your own — this is the #futureofwork bit many talk about. Continue reading →

Notable Reads for 24 Jan 🔗
The are times when it is suitable to be reminded that aspects of connected technologies do or dont’t move so fast. Am reminded of a closing from a smart cities keynote from a few years back where the challenge wasn’t simply to remind people of the capabilities of their companies, policies, or tools. It, was about remembering the onus of all of these vectors to improve the capacity of its performant to not remove themselves from what change should mean. Continue reading →

Some challenges are harder than others. When in the midst of significant change, the challenge to maintain one’s bearings, alongside adapting to the unknowable opportunities/consequences of the oncoming reality, tends to make a mountain or a mess out of a lot of us. And yet, what it will mean to cross that chasim, and become that thing you were sure was coming — and are surprised all the same — speaks to the beauty of the challenge. Continue reading →

2019 is off and running — so to speak. Challenges in the USA with budgets and government shutdowns notwithstanding, there’s at least something to be said about the tone and fervor of items published over the past week. More often than not, there’s a sense of many wanting to dig deeper than the normative narratives in order to best view opportunities. A few of those items which stuck out shared here as usual.
