Keynotes, leadership briefings & workshops

A practical view of AI.
A bigger view of
what’s possible.

I deliver AI keynotes, executive briefings, and hands-on workshops for construction companies, leadership offsites, and industry associations.

Help your audience see how AI can elevate expertise, improve decisions, and change how they work with information.

Ways to work together

Choose the format that fits the conversation.

Keynotes

Give audiences a practical understanding of AI and a bigger view of what’s possible.

Executive briefings

Support leadership discussion of priorities, risks, and next steps.

Hands-on workshops

Have participants use AI on practical tasks, compare results, and learn from each other.

Tailored to your audience. Built for participation.

I start with research and pre-engagement briefings to understand your organization, your audience, and the outcomes that matter. Drawing on dozens of workshops and live training events, I tailor the content, examples, and activities to those goals.

Participation can range from phone-based exercises to real tasks on laptops and live agent creation. People learn by doing, comparing results, and discussing how to apply AI in their work.

Topics for your next event

Ideas your audience
can put to work.

Keynotes and leadership briefings connect AI ideas to construction decisions. In hands-on workshops, participants use AI on practical tasks, compare results, and learn from one another.

01

AI that elevates human expertise

Make capable people more capableAutomation is part of the opportunity. So is helping people prepare, challenge their thinking, and apply what they know. Explore how AI can extend the reach of experienced people and help the next generation develop.

02

AI beyond the hype

Build your own judgmentA clear look at what AI does well, where it falls short, and what that means for construction. Give leaders practical ways to assess applications, develop their teams, and sequence investment.

03

Useful AI starts with the information you have

Build value and the foundation togetherSome applications need carefully prepared data. Others can begin with a useful folder, a few documents, or a conversation. Learn how to tell the difference and strengthen your data as you go.

04

Intelligence everywhere changes how we work

Ask more of the information around youBring AI to files and folders, photographs and video, audio and conversations, or what a camera can show. Explore how easier access to intelligence changes the questions we ask and what we can do with the answers.

The direction behind the work

AI that scales human expertise, compounds value, and strengthens the business.

Better tools and better judgment reinforce each other. As people learn, share what works, and apply it again, the value can grow across the business.

What your audience takes away

More than a list
of AI tools.
A new way to think.

A working understanding of AI, a wider view of where it can help, and practical ideas to try in their own work.

I combine technical depth with construction experience and a direct, approachable way of explaining complex ideas. People leave better equipped to judge the opportunities for themselves.

We’ll start with your audience: what they already know, what they’re wrestling with, and what you want them to leave able to do.
