  • Sharpening A Few Arrows

    Have been encouraged over the past few weeks with several conversations about what this initiative is about. Into that end, many of those conversations have sparked a few refinements to previous ideas. In some cases, they’ve confirmed approaches, while in other cases they’ve lent a different perspective. What’s been good about this is the journaling that happens afterwards, it offers an opportunity to sharpen some of those arrows for eventual offerings or experiments. Continue reading →

  • Three Leg Table

    Over the course of many years of mentoring and coaching, there’s been a common axiom shared with folks to help them identify a specific gap in development/maturity: A three legged table is very stable. What legs do you have? Many people do not realize that in personal and professional matters, it makes sense to have a balance of three layers of people around you. The first layer, teacher/mentor. The second layer, best friend(s)/road buddy. Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 14 Jan 22 🔗

    New year and the reading, linking, threading, and thematic interludes continue. One of the more fascinating aspects of last year’s reads was the continuity. Hoping to keep that up, with a few more original pieces to keep threading these also.

  • Podcast: Theology and the Metaverse

    The other week, got a chance to hang with an old friend Nigel Scott (@ExCapite) on his new podcast conversations space Wealthy Tiger. The topic of this conversation started around the idea of the metaverse being another theological expression. And per usual, the conversation took some delightful routes (rites of passage, the depth of connecting, and more). Take a watch or listen and use your social spaces to comment and add variety (tag us on Twitter via @AvanceeAgency). Continue reading →

  • A Bit Off the Cuff

    Over the past many weeks, have had several conversations, and really insightful pieces of wisdom from various persons, about the future of Avanceé. One of the things very clear about this initiative is that it’s something that really doesn’t require a lot of thought to get behind. When explaining the intention for this initiative, it resonates very quickly. But I think most of that comes from the aspect of being able to knit someone’s context to the story of reengineering complexity. Continue reading →

  • Notable Reads for 2021 🔗

    A year of things read, things shared. With a neat bonus of a piece not shared. Really appreciate the enhancement to Muse to share the entire screen (versus the screenshot method we did for much of the year). Next year… something like this, as a layered SVG, where you can click into each board then surf. Yea, that would be cool. There is someone in the Micro.Blog community who did figure out something like this w/JSON, so anything is possible. Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 24 Dec 21 🔗

    Honestly didn’t think there’d be anything for publishing this week; but, am always reading, and there’s always something interesting in the basket. Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating; and a happy Kwanzaa season to those who will be celebrating that as well. May we all find a bit more compassion for one another during this “adjusted” holiday season. Continue reading →

  • Identifying the Necessity of Opportunity

    Part of the market space in which Avanceé plays is within the civic tech space. Civic tech, or the technologies and services which facilitate government services and citizen engagement, is a mixture of fast moving pieces and slow(er) moving policies. If there’s any play for re-engineering complexity, this is one space in which this would be quite a benefit. However, identifying those opportunities to reduce unnecessary friction is often a mix of mining requests for proposals, local/state chambers of commerce, and even hot button topics from news and social media.
