Event
A New Roadmap for Engineering Leadership in the Age of AI
Join ACEC Research Institute Executive Director Daphne Bryant and Senior Research Consultant Joseph Bates for an in-depth presentation of the Institute’s latest Firm of the Future report developed in collaboration with futurist Mike Walsh.
This interactive webinar will explore the report in two parts.
In the first half of the session, attendees will examine the report’s major themes shaping the future engineering firm. Through exclusive video insights from Mike Walsh, followed by live discussion and analysis from Bryant and Bates, participants will explore six structural shifts redefining engineering—from AI-augmented workflows and hybrid human–AI organizations to the emergence of infrastructure as a continuous intelligence system.
In the second half, Bryant and Bates will translate these insights into practical action by walking through the report’s strategic roadmap for engineering firms. The discussion will focus on the concrete steps firm leaders can take now to build data-driven organizations, redesign workflows around AI, develop hybrid engineering talent, expand lifecycle service models, and prepare for a future shaped by digital labor.
Whether you are evaluating AI strategy, rethinking workforce development, or preparing your firm for long-term transformation, this webinar will provide a forward-looking framework for understanding what comes next—and how to lead through it.
