Adapt and Flourish in the Age of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has arrived in the construction industry, presenting new challenges and opportunities for AECO leaders. AI, in the non-technical sense, also extends to how we engage and do business. What will it take to thrive in this new era? In a world where smart machines enhance human productivity, project teams will need to be more diverse and resilient than ever before. Immerse yourself in new ways of thinking and learn how you can adapt your skill set to flourish in the age of AI.
