Avanceé 2025 Review
Once again, we have concluded another year with this initiative. 2025 start golf really slow, picked up a little bit, and then transformed into something else entirely. What that means going forward is still in flux and evolution; but perhaps there’s something to this shift: “I don’t move things forward — I decide what forward is.” Using the same heading format as last year’s review, we will break down what’s happened in 2025 for Avanceé.

Avanceé 2024 Review
Another year of reflections, connections, contemplations, and experiments have concluded. 2024 was certainly a challenging year for Avanceé. But, it wasn’t something that is insurmountable, just a ripple from an intention of more deliberate research, networking, and refining the goal of this initiative. Refining Vision Avanceé has always been shaped as an experience derived from consulting a single person who is able to swing between industries, methodologies, and technologies to connect strategy and leadership.

Sounding Board
“Can we talk to you about… we are exploring this thing and not sure which path we should take. There’s what we know which is… And there’s a lot that we don’t know. How do you think we should approach this? What steps would you take in our shoes?” For some of the conversations since starting the Avanceé initiative, the previous blockquote has more or less been accurate to a number of them.

Avanceé 2023 Review
As has been the case each year since this venture begun, Avanceé looks at what has been shared, contemplated, and experimented towards in the past 12 months. Similar to previous years, bits will be light and brief, though pointing to what might be coming next is also par-the-course. Previous year reviews can be read at the following links: 2022 2021 2020 Much about this year could be grouped into the themes of “instigating more research and experiments” and “agility in the face of uncertainty.

Podcast: Theology and the Metaverse
The other week, got a chance to hang with an old friend Nigel Scott (@ExCapite) on his new podcast conversations space Wealthy Tiger. The topic of this conversation started around the idea of the metaverse being another theological expression. And per usual, the conversation took some delightful routes (rites of passage, the depth of connecting, and more). Take a watch or listen and use your social spaces to comment and add variety (tag us on Twitter via @AvanceeAgency). Continue reading →

From A Future 2021 (#FaF21): Discussions and Discovery on Protopian Themes
Excited to have participated once again with the From A Future discussion/conference. An extremely multi-medium conference, it happens physically in Hong Kong, but virtually globally. Which is good. Avanceé is based in the USA, on the East Coast, a clear 12 hours behind the physical attendees. This lends itself to a unique dynamic - all attendees have to maintain a cross-connect of awareness to what’s happening both in space and cyberspace. Continue reading →

Hearing Sight
Casting new patterns for a new year The past two years, Avanceé has been something of an experiment, and another part a package. The experiment: to put into a business model, an approach to design and process which elevates individuals and companies from “do what they’ve seen modeled” to “invent and do what they’ve imagined.” Experiments are hard — especially this one where it’s also got to be a package. It has been the “package” bit which has been hardest to clarify for Avanceé. Continue reading →
