For the past two years, many conversations about AI in the workplace have revolved around productivity. How do we get more output? How do we automate tasks? How do we reduce cost? All important questions. But they’re still focused on efficiency while the real performance breakthroughs in organizations don’t come from speed alone. They come...

In just two years, the construction-tech platform has gone from zero to more than 70 employees, 5× annual growth, and recognition from both NASDAQ and the NYSE as one of the fastest-growing companies in its category.
