In this episode, Aaron shares how Granite is redefining industry standards by embracing citizen development, AI-driven safety initiatives, and seamless communication via platforms like Yammer and SharePoint. We break down how agile teams can quickly experiment with vibe coding and low-code solutions, then scale success company-wide—without risking security or losing control. You'll learn how construction leaders are using AI to cut silos, reduce fatigue, and enable faster decision-making, even in complex, geographically dispersed projects.
