  • Considerations and Certifications

    “I think it’s worth calling out the BS and pointing people in the right direction.” Stealing that line from a recent conversation as we are getting set to increase activity with some local partners and am looking across the scope of what is happening to the space of technology operations. About AI/ML: Nothing about current AI/ML tech leads a belief that it’s the right thing, yet. And yet, even though we are pressing the AiPin into use alongside doing our own research.

    And here we’ve got something of interesting shape of things. On one side is this deplorable state of circumstances, on another this state of endless possibilities. Am not sure all of it is as bleak or otherwise optimistic, but trying to push forward means taking what is and isn’t, while also finding new voices to yell for what’s needed.

  • OpenAI Operator Quick Thoughts

    There’s a part of having watched OpenAI’s Operaror video (and read the release and accompanying docs which says “in calling the AiPin a secretary, and this should be a part of its characteristics.” And that’s semi-good (heck, am actually not long from booking a flight after a few days of lagging on such). There’s a part which has a less happy vibe to this… somewhat thinking about the lower-level tech support which falls near the “I don’t want to talk to a machine, I want to talk to a human” feeling.

    The changes which have been in the wind are upon us in one way or another. That said, all change doesn’t mean negative consequences. Some items are ripples of decisions to come. How we respond now, determines what we chose later. Also published: On Data Visualizations and Decisions Continue reading →

  • On Data Visualizations and Decisions

    Visualizations can lead to awareness, and then to ??? When doing/working with researchers and data scientists, there’s often this “make it neat to interact with” bit which falls into the reporting side of analysis. And yes, it needs to be as intuitive/direct as possible to understand what the research/analysis has found, but also how it connects to what’s relevant from the viewer’s point of view. Can such views into the structure and decisions of government prompt a different response? Continue reading →

  • 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.

  • Avanceé Reads for 20 Dec 24 🔗

    All of the holiday networking has a few eyes asking “so how exactly do you make the connection between what it is that people wish to do next and what might be the noise of the age?“ Some of that just happens instinctively. But a good bit of it is recognizing the connections that might exist that may be out of tune with where the bells are ringing. Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 13 Dec 24 🔗

    Not exactly sure, but this might be the last share of weekly reads for the calendar year. Still have to finish the wrapup report and a few experiments to also close off. This has been a solid year of research and investigation. Looking forward to what these connections and research turns into for 2025. Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 6 Dec 24 🔗

    The cold of the season is settling in around these parts, and still folks want to do more. The theme seems to be that we all have to learn to do more, but with less. Not as much room for over-estimating capabilities, capacities, or opportunities. And yet… lots left to connect before the year is out. Also published: Mindful of Crypto Continue reading →
