It’s no coincidence the Orion Growth logo is a series of intertwined circles. Back in 2009 when we designed it - the purpose of the company was to break down the vertical silos of commercial real estate and introduce circular, regenerative thinking to a traditional, linear process. We were slightly ahead of the market, but things have taken off lately. It turns out that circular processes and sustainable design mean something now. Circularity is becoming a regulatory requirement for our large...

Single-Point of Failure
Failure is inevitable. Failure is a requirement for learning. Embrace failure, because it’s going to happen. In fact, the failure is often systemic and is generally caused by or impacted by a much larger subset of consequences. Most institutions have fostered a culture that sees failure as inherently bad. However, they are essential to growth, and recognizing their value can be key to future success. We learn from the valley, not the peak. Anatomy of a failure: It’s safe to say that all failu...

IT's complicated
Those who choose to practice technology and innovation see it. Advancements in chipsets and compute power will jettison us to next-level processing. The shift from central, to graphical has moved to neural. It feels fast because it is fast. We’ve never had more ability to ‘do’ than now. This is when we, as humans, give that speed the direction it needs. This is where speed turns into velocity - and we influence the intended outcome. This is a phase change. With most innovation, our new abilit...
Persevering along the path of regenerative leadership, open innovation, and dynamic team building. Aspiring to make the words make sense.

There’s a medical term called hypervigilance. The definition is a state of heightened alertness accompanied by behavior that aims to prevent danger. It’s a condition that is of concern to one’s mental health if it progresses.
A common model of hypervigilance suggests a linear progression; alertness, alarm, and panic.
As an entrepreneur, this fight-or-flight state of hypervigilance is usually the difference between success and failure. Leading a team of people, whose lives depend upon the financial success of the company, isn’t for wimps. It just is what it is - and it’s not for everyone.
Being a business that supports the CRE industry has been interesting, to say the least. We’ve worked with startups, middle market companies, and enterprises in so many ways, exposing us to so many different workplace cultures and styles. We’ve consulted and delivered on activity-based design, ergonomics, A/V integration, LAN/WAN, evaporative cooling, Kiva bots, you name it. We’ve worked for municipalities, hospitals, and universities - each giving us a glimpse into how different one is from the next.
There’s always been a common thread. We’ve always done whatever we were hired to do for the end user. No matter what, we deliver ‘to the seat’. UI/UX. In search of a constant state of continuous improvement, we even did a marketing campaign once called Create.Refine.Repeat. That leads us to a deeper understanding of the informed model and RPA (Robotic Process Automation).
Over the last two years, we’ve seen a progression of anxious behavior in the seat. Workplace hypervigilance is common in emergency services, financial trading floors, and high-tech jobs requiring constant multitasking and high concentration. It’s pervasive throughout the construction and delivery side of the industry - in a harmful way - and it is reaching into traditional knowledge work. Why?
Dunno.
Maybe because we sense something? Maybe because there’s something INSIDE of us that feels like we are on the edge?
It can also be a useful tool for identifying opportunities in certain contexts. Hypervigilance is a key attribute in sales and entrepreneurship where being attuned to opportunities can be the difference between recognizing market trends or dying because you didn’t.
The CRE industry is changing in monumental ways. Lines are being drawn, cells are dividing, and new ecosystems are being built. The future of work happens inside these new ecosystems….and that’s changing too. Remote work is now a product. Distributed teams and the global workforce are now a reality. Awareness of this shift has turned mainstream. This does not undo - it only progresses forward. The delineation is real, and people have a choice.
Be aware of your surroundings.
Be aware of your choices.
Be aware of you.
