No One Trains AI and That's a Problem
Manage episode 478234637 series 3237497
In this episode of KP Unpacked (AI in AEC edition), Jeff Echols and Frank Lazaro—KP Reddy Co.'s in-house AI expert—tackle one of the biggest blind spots in AI adoption: training your team.
Everyone’s talking about AI. Few are doing anything useful with it. From underused tools to forgotten policies, they break down why most firms are missing the mark—and how to fix it.
As always, the number one podcast in AEC brings you practical, no-fluff insights designed to help you move fast and build smarter.
🔹 Why tossing your team into ChatGPT is not a strategy
🔹 The “12-minute rule” that unlocks 10,000+ hours of productivity
🔹 What your AI policy is probably missing (hint: actual training)
🔹 Train-the-trainer vs. send-everyone: Which model works best?
🔹 The playbook strategy every AEC firm should adopt
🔹 How lunch & learns can quietly drive AI transformation
💡 Key takeaway: AI adoption without training is like CAD without a mouse. Build the system. Create the culture. Track the ROI.
🎧 Plus: How to handle prompt hoarding, office power outages, and becoming your firm’s AI guru (cape optional).
