The airwaves are crowded daily with the latest and greatest revelations about Artificial Intelligence. Trade show gatherings feature speakers and workshops on how AI will change – revolutionize? – construction. IPOs of new AI companies attract millions of dollars from people and funds wishing their investments to hit it big like the next Apple or Google. It would take some gargantuan effort to ignore the hype around AI! What does all this mean to those of us running small businesses in the construction world?

Please tune in this week as Wayne attempts to cut through the hype with three recommendations for making the AI confusion more manageable. The key to making AI pay off for your people and your company will not be more tech wizardry, more money flung at the challenge, or months of slogging through information and demos to find the perfect AI tool. No, the real avenue for success in the coming AI-fueled world will be LEADERSHIP. What is your opinion? Please share with us at [email protected]

Empower the construction leaders of tomorrow by enrolling them to The Contractor Business Boot Camp, a unique leadership development program that equips you and your team with the knowledge and skills necessary for long-term success, enabling your business to prosper in the constantly evolving construction industry. A new class starts in September in Denver, CO. Contact Charlotte today at [email protected] to find out more.
