• Links for 8 Dec

    Better late than never? Or, better next than never? Sometimes, the framing we have for what we want to do and what’s been done is rightly shaped by where we might have heard/seen things done for much longer than their source was remembered. When we look at such constructs, there’s an opportunity to continue down the same line, or reset the expectations such that we might see the current roads in a different/better light.

  • Under Your Nose

    Chances are you don’t need a design strategy to fix your product/market fit. The solution to your woes is likely under your nose already. Within a few streams of technology and communication, there is a path of resistance when it comes to figuring out what might be the solution to fixing a product for greater market acceptance. The waves within those streams are rocks which might challenge the way in which water travels. Continue reading →

  • Links for 30 Nov

    There’s a different pace to the end of the year. For some, its about making sure that the mistakes and opportunities of earlier in the year are taken advantage of. For some, its about next year — all of the energies of for creating and investing into this year are done with, and the strategies for hitting the ground running next year are in play. Where that lands this week’s links is one part in what is observed, and another in what is prepared. Continue reading →

  • Technological Advents

    Having written once and found the item gone into the ether, there was the day’s events spent thinking (in the background) about what it means to be at the front of various technological shifts. This topic was made more present when asked about a new keyboard being used — it makes a bit of sense in this season to think again towards advent and technological changes. Oftentimes, we don’t notice those changes until they happen. Continue reading →

  • Links for 23 Nov

    Keeping to the usual flow of posting the week’s curated links despite the extension of the holiday weekend in the USA. Granted, Black Friday wants to be a holiday for many retailers. But, there’s probably better items on deck for some of the rest of us (for example, REI’s #OptOutside is a great excuse unless your weather is unbearable). It is worth the pause to at least read and consider that, sometimes, different perspectives should persist despite the shades of the days and seasons around us. Continue reading →

  • Conversations Create New Roads

    ‪Lots of email newsletters have been pushed out this year. So many are a collection of links, maybe some marketed goods, rarely long-form. But, where’s the conversation? Where’s the resulting products from those conversations? The convos to the concepts to the creations?‬ ‪Been a year trying something different with Avanceé. Part of this has been an alternate signal in the newly formed “bucket of links at the cost of your email. Continue reading →

  • Clarity in Conversation

    Each conversation is another lesson in what others might do or want to do in order to make steps forward. The most common theme comes from the peeling off of the stated problem to what the actual issue might be. Then sketching across an ocean of possibilities, guiding the direction of something simpler, something which may be better — even if we didn’t build anything to get there. This is is Avanceé Continue reading →
