  • 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.

  • Figuring Out A Future

    In dedicating more of a focus to Avanceé, there’s been a good bit of resetting the plate which has happened across several familiar and unfamiliar spaces. In some conversations, there’s been less “here’s what Avanceé does” and more “how can Avanceé help you.” In some spaces there’s been a subtle shift from push to flow. And still in others there’s a conservative shift towards experiments driving tasks towards experiments building platforms. Continue reading →

  • Of 2021’s Experiments and Ruminations

    This has been an interesting year in regards to various experiments. In some respects, these experiments are a testament to an ongoing curiosity that drives this initiative. But in other respects, there’s a little bit of looking back to see what could’ve been, something like regret but not as strong. Last year, did a similar roundup of various experiments. So what about some of these experiments for this year,? What has worked out? Continue reading →
