    Pattens can provoke actions. The provocation can seem as if it is elongating friction, or pointing to a diminishing influence of another mindset.

    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.

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.

  • Links for 2018

    Just about every week in 2018, Avanceé shared a selection of links which stuck out amongst the noise. Some of these highlighted commentary on news and technology, some pointed to other blossoming spaces, and still others pointed to newer interpretations of older spaces. These will be noted in one post here to close the year — for what sticks out for the curator is not often what also sticks out for their audience. Continue reading →

  • Links for 21 Dec

    The way this part of the season has developed, one is supposed to take inventory of the year, admonish themselves for making it this far (in one piece), and reflect forward to the mostly positive outlook for the upcoming year. Rarely do we continue as if the year isn’t ending. It is only a solstice after all — a standing of the sun for just a moment.
