SCGMA AI for Personal Productivity & Firm Transformation Workshop

In this fast-paced, hands-on workshop, AI consultant Stjepan Mikulic will help you turn AI into measurable results—both personally and across your entire firm. You’ll learn how to create custom GPTs, use AI to build presentations, visuals, and reports. Then, we’ll go beyond personal productivity to focus on firm-wide transformation. You’ll learn the 9-step process for implementing AI in an AEC organization, and get hands-on with a Miro board to map your own workflows, tech stack, and AI strategy. By the end, you’ll leave with a clear plan, a draft AI policy, and a step-by-step roadmap to save 12+ hours a week—while future-proofing your firm.
