On a panel in Phoenix, the CEO of a large engineering firm said, more or less, that if they could afford it, they'd be more interested in hiring data scientists than more principal engineers. Chad Sanderson, our CxO, was in the room and felt it shift. Hiring a principal engineer bets on what one person knows. Hiring a data scientist bets on what the whole firm knows, and that bet only pays if the firm has made what it knows usable. Has your firm done that work? #EngineeringLeadership

In the Engineering Management Institute and ActionsProve's 2026 survey of more than 300 AEC professionals, 88% said they use AI at work. 21% said they use it daily. The report's own line: "Not a single survey respondent who uses AI less than daily reports transformational productivity gains." The 21% built a habit. The rest have a tool they remember sometimes. Neither number tells you what the firm kept from any of them. #AIAdoption

Skanska built what ASCE's Civil Engineering Source calls an Operational Risk "sidekick." It "feeds on thousands of accumulated case studies and expert knowledge to provide reasoned risk mitigation strategies for current jobs." Reported practice, not a measured result, and Skanska is a very large contractor. What carries over is where the build started: records the firm already held. Yours exist too, in closeouts and lessons-learned decks filed when each job ended. Could a project manager on a job under way put a question to them? #AIStrategy

Data center work "can arrive with more urgency and less certainty around scope and timing," Ulteig president and CEO Doug Jaeger told ENR. A firm settles uncertain scope with what it learned on the last jobs like it. When that knowledge sits with one booked specialist, the next request waits on one calendar. Whose calendar is your next scope waiting on? #AEC
Two engineers in high-visibility vests, seen from behind at first light at the edge of a new high-voltage interconnection yard, a thin line of green light following the strung conductors in from transmission towers to the bay in front of them, with a data center campus under construction behind. The headline reads: If the answer lives with one specialist, the specialist is the ceiling. A band along the foot reads Universal Mind, The Organizational Intelligence Company.

When a flaw lands at 11 at night, your technology lead patches what's on the list. Is everything your team has built with AI on that list? #VibeCoding

Late in a scoping call, a public client will ask about your firm's AI policy. Chances are the answer is one person's habit or a memo from March. Could your firm answer without calling anyone? #AIReadiness

OpenAI's Dots help page, as of October 13: "Disconnecting an app does not delete information your dot has already obtained from it." Its answer for removing that information: delete the dot. What would your team lose if it had to delete its agent tomorrow? #AgenticAI

Switching on connectors gets an assistant into your mail and cloud drives. It doesn't decide which source wins when two disagree. The standard AI assistant connector is the easy part. Someone has to decide what it carries. In your firm, who did? #OrganizationalIntelligence

Your people got faster with AI. Did your firm get smarter? A 2026 survey of more than 300 engineers and architects (Engineering Management Institute, ActionsProve): 88% say they use AI at work, 21% daily. An adoption rate counts people. Not what the firm keeps. #AEC
