About this episode
Aaron Mcclellan discusses how Granite is innovating in construction through technology and AI.
In this episode, Aaron shares how Granite is redefining industry standards by embracing citizen development, AI-driven safety initiatives, and seamless communication via platforms like Yammer and SharePoint. We break down how agile teams can quickly experiment with vibe coding and low-code solutions, then scale success company-wide—without risking security or losing control. You'll learn how construction leaders are using AI to cut silos, reduce fatigue, and enable faster decision-making, even in complex, geographically dispersed projects.
