Have been sitting today thinking about what’s been shared here and how there’s not been any conceptual bits shared in a long time. Part of that definitely due to NDA/NDA-type agreements.

From the fractional executive work to the experiments to the incredible layers of reading, it has been an absolutely thick and enjoyable 2023. One last collection of links to close out the year, some contemplation about situational awareness, and what it may be going forward.

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.

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.
