  • Thoughts on iPadOS 16’s Stage Manager

    Furthering some thoughts from last week’s Apple WWDC presentation of iPadOS 16 and Stage Manager. First, the thoughts on last week, also shared in last week’s Avanceé Reads: Scribbling notes on iPadOS 16, and thinking of @MuseAppHQ run a Muse instance on an external display, but then getting a mini-map to navigate on the iPad (no mouse needed) extending the selection/marquee gesture to not only grab, but recognize/search or “correct to shape” Mini-map would love where they current sync status indicator is (it would contain it) Continue reading →

    A good bit more ink and thoughts on this one than the usual. Normally, leaving the arrangement of links is enough to convey some meaning. But sometimes it makes sense to share how sensemaking happens on this end. Continue reading →

  • Maturity Beyond Management

    Recent conversations about change and technology with those who are directly implementing and interacting with what’s changing often flip past any purview of those who are looking for analytics because they drive more on outcomes, rather than outputs. Yet, these conversations also promote a kind of accountability in which certain outputs are a given and measurable. For example, chatting w/a UX designer (friend) recently who is looking at professional/career paths which don’t include management and came to a damning thought - one can probably judge the maturity (or growing maturity) of an org for their ability to have and cultivate non-managerial paths which improve lines of business.

  • Comfort, Friction

    Been doing this thing a little bit more frequently lately where when people are asking what Avanceé is, a demonstration happens. Specifically found on hardware (rings being worn, glasses being worn at that moment), or the flexibility that a desired platform does or doesn’t show (some funky workflows via Apple Shortcuts, AirTable play, or something a tick further in scope). And it’s really interesting how these interactive moments confirm routes for folks to consider whether or not their use of connected technologies is taking them forward or leaving them static in a changing world.

    Also published: Data Analysis is Weird Of note, this week’s share of the Muse board comes from the upcoming Muse 2.0 release. One of the better apps/services in the tools for thought genre, Muse really sets itself apart by being less about collaborative synthesis and more towards personal synthesis (which might lead to later collaborative insights). The 2.0 release will feature a dedicated MacOS app, to go along with the existing iPadOS app. Continue reading →

  • Data Analysis is Weird

    Something of an “off the cuff” title to this, but in thinking about a few items which have been in the inbox lately, it kind of makes sense. For example, one of the items in the inbox is of a session am currently conducting where folks have more or less needed to learn the basics of a specific analysis tool. The customer wants to move towards targeted trainings for specific features, but hasn’t yet identified what data points make the most sense for realizing success. Continue reading →
