AI Literacy Workshop
Before you can build a useful AI roadmap, your team needs a shared understanding of what AI actually means for how you work. This workshop establishes that foundation.
FORMAT
Half-day (3 to 4 hours)
DELIVERY
On-site or virtual
AUDIENCE
Principals and staff together
WHY THIS COMES FIRST
The step most firms skip
Introducing AI into a firm's project delivery process without preparing the team first is a reliable way to create anxiety, resistance, and stalled initiatives. The technology is not the hard part. The people are.
Skipping this step is like handing your teenager the car keys without teaching them to drive. The capability is there. The foundation is not.
The AI Literacy Workshop addresses that gap directly. By bringing principals and project staff into the same room, or the same virtual session, at the same time, it creates a shared starting point that makes every subsequent engagement more effective.
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN
What breaks down when firms skip this step
Across our client conversations, three patterns show up consistently when firms move directly to tools or strategy without first building shared literacy.
.
01 — Anxiety fills the vacuum When staff do not have a clear picture of what AI means for their roles, they fill the uncertainty with their worst assumptions. Productivity drops before a single tool is deployed.
.
02 — Leadership and staff talk past each other Principals often have a different mental model of AI than their project teams. Without a shared reference point, decisions made at the top do not land the way they were intended.
03 — The roadmap does not reflect reality An AI strategy built without staff input tends to underestimate the organizational changes required to execute it. The plan looks right on paper and fails in practice.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What the session covers
Each workshop is tailored to your firm's project delivery context. We do not use generic AI overviews. The session is built around how your team actually works.
What AI can do: Practical examples grounded in AEC project delivery, not abstractions. What AI cannot do: Honest limits. Where human judgment stays essential and why. What changes: The organizational and behavioral shifts that make adoption real. What stays the same: The professional standards and delivery fundamentals that do not move.
OUTCOMES
What your team leaves with
Principals and staff aligned on what AI means for the firm, grounded in your specific project delivery context. A shared vocabulary for the conversations ahead. Reduced anxiety about what is changing and clarity about what is not. And a foundation that makes the AI Strategy Assessment significantly more productive.
