Avanceé Teams with Tymbals
Avanceé announces a teaming with Tymbals, an Edge Design House. Meaningful design is impactful, sustainable, ethical, and (can also be) profitable. Embracing this ethos, Tymbals has reconnected with its own design ethos, enabling companies and movements to understand that “an investment in design is an investment into the future of enterprise value”. Demonstrating this investment, Tymbals has brokered a new partnership with Avanceé (and Inkadoo); using their enhanced design experience to change the positioning, technology, and growth prospects of their clients.

Links for 2 Nov
It is often said that more data is a good thing. Whether that data is relevant or irrelevant almost doesn’t get talked about as often. Nor, does it get spoken about what happens after the data is exhausted, or there is no more relevance to collecting so much data. Chances are, the links shared this week will cause a similar state of personal and organizational reassessment — just because there’s data present, doesn’t mean there’s progress gained.

Intuitive As Design
Arguing for intuition over prediction or known indicators? Yes and no. In between a clearly identified problem and its “so obvious” solution is the chasm called opportunity. It is within this space so many projects live and die. Some of the better ones become well-known, not just for an ability to solve the initial problem, but for those people on its edges to also find providence towards a solution. In conversations with many about the goals for Avanceé, its clear that the problem space is one in which many just have a hard time articulating what exactly might be the issue. Continue reading →

Links for 26 Oct
What should we better do now that we understand the uniqueness of the world in which we live? Not that everything is by chance, there are certain mathematical principles which have been found to discover some of the most obscure aspects of this world. But, when we are presented items we thought were unique, and now find they are less so, how do we enable a better response? This week’s links presents the struggles within such a framing; and possibly measures to find order within the squalor. Continue reading →

Inventing the Other Stuff
In between the actual projects taken up by this Avanceé banner, there’s some intentional thinking space given to creating or exploring items in a fuller fashion than perhaps where some of those projects might travel. Sometimes, this comes out fully expressed into a concept or process that’s mostly useful to others (for example, the SmartTrip Apple Watch Concept App spoken about on a few occasions). These expansions of thought, process, and tooling take their own direction, oftentimes coming into nothing, or needing a bit more discipline, knowledge, or resource-capacity to come to a clear conclusion.

Links for 19 Oct
Coming to the halfway point of October with all indications that the holidays will have as much lights, noise, and perspectives as ever. There’s a wonder with some if this year’s holiday season will land more on the side of taking a deep breath, or just waiting for the next shoe to drop. In whatever case, weather swings and sings along with familiar and unfamiliar themes in this week’s links. Continue reading →

Experience Strategy & Engineering Complexity
Came across a few terms when looking further into some of the problem spaces of digitally-augmented teams and organizations: experience strategy and complexity. Both of these terms speak to both the problem to be addressed, and the opportunities which lie at solving them. However, they might do so from differing perspectives and roles. Experience Strategy really is the “strategy and planning” end of design. It is also the aspect closest to the emotional response of the client/customer. Continue reading →
