STN: All AGM resolutions passed by a large majority, with AI integration highlighted as a key focus

Large engineering firms just voted to make AI integration a top priority.

Not "explore AI someday." A boardroom commitment to weave it into operations for better efficiency and margins.

Here's the thing nobody talks about: they didn't start by replacing everything. They started by identifying where AI creates measurable improvement in work that already happens.

You bought that AI tool. Your team never opened it. That $200/month sits there like a guilty reminder. That's not a you problem — that's a vendor problem. They sold a solution before understanding your workflow.

The lesson from firms like Stantec isn't "spend big on AI." It's that smart organizations pick one inefficient process, apply AI to it, measure the result, then expand. That's it. One process. One outcome. Proof before investment.

This week, write down the single most repetitive task your team does that eats time but creates no real value. That's your starting point. Not a platform. Not a strategy. Just one task.

That's how you get your first win — without touching what's working or gambling on another tool that collects dust.

What's the one AI tool or subscription you've paid for that your team never actually adopted?
