    With the shutdown of the AiPin, our experience and experiment has come to a bittersweet end. There’s always lessons in the journey. And as always, this means simply to shift forward to the next things. Also published: Opining About Human-Centered Design in Civic Tech Continue reading →

  • Opining about Human-Centered Design in Civic Tech

    Cropping a convo for a wider eye/lens… the context being design/human-centered design in (a/some) #CivicTech spaces How to be human centered when the operational objective isn’t to be humane, but to be operationally more proficient… such is the design challenge to transform its approach and posture once again Could probably drop tools/practices and just focus towards training and behavioral development… use the “tools/practices” as the languages and impress a heuristic of product agility, operational versatility, and “readiness to {outcome}” as the pillars.

    By the time this has been posted, will have done an emulation of an older shape of things. Travel, connections, content, and not much in the way of a break. Packed moments at an increased pacing is a part of things for many folks these days. Lots coming at us, and not yet the time to take a breather. So here’s your reminder to make sure you do make space for the busy times, as well as the settled ones. Continue reading →

    A bit of a late posting, but can you blame folks for taking love offline. Well, in order to keep the love going here, here’s the notable reads which should have been posted last week. Also published: Update to the Brilliant Labs Frame 👓 Experiment Upcoming: next month is Avanceé co-facilitating a Sales Effectiveness workshop at the Central Maryland Chamber of Commerce.

  • Update to Brilliant Labs Frame 👓 Experiment

    One of the advantages of Avanceé’s platform is the ability to explore and experiment as we desire. We can take a look at the edges of technology and pushed towards our own affairs. This has been the case with a few products from Brilliant Labs. First, we looked at the Monocle, a single lens and developer focused device. It was really a chance to look at something that was on the outright edge of heads up displays and using artificial intelligence-like applications. Continue reading →

    Each week these are shared with a sense of wonder and hope. Wonder about the shape of conversations and threads which meander about. Hope at doing something more than just pulsating silicon wafers until they cannot any more. Wonder and hope… a lot of what’s been challenged lately. But, also where there’s opportunity for something else to come forth. Also published: Stumbling As Agility Two on LinkedIn here and here Continue reading →

  • Stumbling As Agility

    Stumbling forward. That’s more or less the feeling these days. And for each experiment and moment of research that offers a little bit of clarity there’s also something different upon us. It was affirming to see a graphic speak to the amount of content that comes across our senses. And even in this case where it doesn’t even talk through all of our senses, the way that we are architected really makes an impact, or reaffirm the impact of everything from current events to the ways that we express our agility.

    Am in the kind of week where there’s a remembrance of poking into another side of design-engineering. The spark of such a memory might be discussed later. But for now, there’s something more complete Avanceé could offer going forward, regardless of the state of affairs. Also published: Considerations and Certifications Continue reading →

  • 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.
