Building Smarter: The Executive’s Guide to Leading with AI

Your company already has incredible intelligence.
It lives in the estimator who knows why one job went sideways five years ago. The superintendent who can spot a problem before it happens. The project manager who knows which client needs a phone call instead of an email. It’s buried in meeting notes, project files, and years of experience.
What if your entire company could access more of it?
That’s where AI becomes a competitive advantage.
Join ASAM for Building Smarter: The Executive’s Guide to Leading with AI, featuring Mike Novakoski, President and CEO of EV Construction and EV Group, for a conversation about what it looks like to build AI into the way a company thinks, operates, shares knowledge, and makes decisions.

Mike brings more than 35 years of experience leading people and organizations, building award-winning workplace cultures, and challenging companies to think differently about how they grow. He is also the author of Right-Brain Justified and Become Unmistakable.
Key Takeaways | What You Will Learn
- Stop thinking about AI as a tool. Start thinking about it as infrastructure. Build AI into how your company operates, shares knowledge, and makes decisions.
- Your company already has the intelligence you need. AI can help you unlock it. Capture institutional knowledge and make it more useful across your organization.
- The companies that win with AI won’t replace their people. They’ll amplify them. Use AI to strengthen creativity, judgment, strategy, and relationships.
- Build the vision before you build the system. Define where AI belongs, what it should support, and what success looks like.
