  • Thoughts on Procurement and Communication

    Attended a minor business procurement conference recently and like many networking-oriented items, this was a lot of conversations, business card swapping, and hopeful contract meshing. Avanceé is not exactly within this side of space, but it makes sense to go to these affairs to get an idea of the technical and operational hurdles our target market identifies with. If you will, it’s not so much the folks looking to get work done we focus on, but those folks who technically and operationally have gaps where they might try to leverage better relationships or acquisitions to fulfill.

    Movement into the summer is one part handling the heat and another part handling the pacing. Thankfully, there’s enough variety in both to create spaces for contemplation as well as renewed activity. Also published: Speed, Velocity, and Tempo Continue reading →

  • Speed, Velocity, and Tempo

    Having a conversation adjacent to a previous about the “three-legged table” - business, IT, and UX (or CX if you prefer the larger wrapper) - brought to the table a wonder if there’s something similar to speed (business: time to market, market response, product development, etc) or velocity (IT: build response, component maturation, product management viability, etc). The word which came to mind for CX/UX was “tempo.” Why? There is an orchestration which happens in measuring or managing the experience lifecycle of a product, program, or service.

    Thought I’d setup a near automation to do these via an Apple a shortcut,but it didn’t quite work. That’s ok. The summer is for experimenting some, and reflecting some more. I’ll figure something forward. And maybe even develop some refined flavors of these shares. Also published: Avanceé Articles in 2025 So Far Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Articles in 2025 So Far

    Last year, we published a mid-year compilation noting the editorial-type pieces posted in the first half of the year. With 2025 a few weeks more than half complete, it makes sense to do the same for this year.

    Feels like this isn’t the best of times, but certainly not exactly the worst. Freedom is weird like that. Free isn’t a dome. Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 27 June 25 🔗

    At some point should probably look at doing some type of integration between Muse and Micro.Blog. Mainly to make these weekly items roll forward a bit easier. But also because there is a little bit more value in the connections that are made, when they come a little more readily. Almost like having this published right at the top of the week, and just updated as the week goes on. Then, at the end of the week, right around this time, to do something like lock it in place.

  • Difference Between What You Are Selling and What You Are Selling

    Having been a part of several teams and a few companies over the years, one gets a good look at what products and services look like once they have gone to market. In some cases, one the product has gone to market, the actual company service steps into place. This could be an emphasis on customer support, timeliness to responding to problems, or even agility in information architecture making it easier to prevent high-level issues from reoccurring.

    Hanging out with this month’s Sales Effectiveness Roundtable and realizing a few bits about following-up we’ve been slipping on. Off to improve a few touch points, while also elevating some of the tooling we’ve been working through. Also published: Working with Refreshed Tools (Dia Browser) Continue reading →

  • Working with Refreshed Tools

    Am not usually one to play with desktop software - much if it just has an overall UX that hasn’t moved forward in 40+ years. But, was intrigued to take a look at what The Browser Company is doing with Dia, a web browser distinct from the Arc browser they’d been pushing. At the first glance, it is no different than many ”AI tools” in that it’s largely text-chat based. But, then you push forward a bit and you’d see some pretty cool bits right under the covers.
