Every year, SMPS welcomes 100 A/E/C leaders to spend three days learning from not only the slate of presenters, but from one another. In 2023, The Pinnacle Experience advisory committee decided to include something new to the conference, a capstone project. Attendees broke into groups and worked together to tackle challenges we are all familiar with these days, recruiting top talent, expanding our views on AI, and more. Each group presented their strategies for solving these challenges on the final day. They did so in various ways, one group hosted a podcast, another group performed a skit inspired by “The Office” and one group’s entire presentation was created and performed by an artificial intelligence tool called Gamma. The ideas and tactics they illustrated are now the feature story of this issue for you to read and use to inspire a fresh strategy to your firm this year. Below are the challenge statements developed by attendees they used to create their presentations.
