Lately, we’ve been doing a ton of it. I guess that’s what happens when you have one foot in traditional tech (because that’s where the world is) and one foot in immerging tech (because that’s where the world is going). Our current tinker projects are things that didn’t exist three years ago (for us). To help frame that, here’s a list straight out of my OneNote page.
Triggers on Power Platform | Open-Source Resources | 4D Livestream | Ordinal Provenance | NounsDAO | Neural PM Framework| NeRFs | Dynamic NFTs| nat.dev | Virbela | Unreal 5 | Multi-Sig Splits | RTMP feeds| Mivo/Pivo Kit | CoPilot Integration
Clearly, the world has changed if this is what’s on our workbench. Even our workbench has changed. We used to have demo products all over the office - ergonomics, furniture solutions, screen share devices, cameras, mounts….all the latest products for us to test. Now, it’s old tech that’s been repurposed for function over form. Individual machines programmed to task. Integrated LAN’s with press-to-functional capabilities. The manuals went from printed binders to pdfs to SharePoint files to git repositories.
Our customer profile has completely changed. We’re focused on internal teams now. We’ve torn down the traditional construct of team dynamics. We start with when and what, and progress to why. It’s shocking how often we’re getting to how and realizing modern teams don’t have (or know where) to access the tools to match their mission, let alone achieve success. Why is that?
Legacy systems.
It starts with job descriptions, hiring practices, & compensation.
It progresses to management style, non-existent workflows, and office culture.
Pair that with obsolete tech, a sub-par UX, and IS restrictions.
Add all that up, you get one deflated group of human beings.
Because I said so, and that’s the way we’ve always done it. Why doesn’t anyone know how to use this? In fact, where is everyone?
This is the past.
We are thankful our workbench looks different. We’re grateful to be solving ‘now-problems’ and building ‘tomorrow-solutions’. People, human beings, are at the core here. Free them from legacy systems, and provide them with hope and opportunity. Pair those people with purpose and give them access to the best tools to get the job done. Someone will.

Orion GrowthSingle-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...

We all see them in different ways. Natural system dependencies refer to relationships and interactions in ecosystems and the environment. They usually play a major role in circular systems, like soil health, the nutrient cycle, or the hydrologic cycle. Similar to nature, dependencies exist in software and technology too. They’re critical in development and operation, as they determine how different parts of the system interact and function together. Examples include libraries, frameworks, dev...
Orion GrowthModels & The Future of Construction
Construction and technology aren’t aligned. Technology is undergoing digital innovation while construction is facing supply chain issues and a labor shortage. Tech is automating while construction is scurrying. So how do they converge? Models.Construction TrendsConstruction market insights continue to follow the basic theme of uncertainty. The industry continues to face cost escalations, material lead time uncertainty, and most importantly, labor shortages which are leading to unprecedented b...
