OM DENNE EPISODE
Today With Jenna Gaidusek:
AI is not going anywhere.
But how you use it inside your design firm? That’s a leadership decision.
In this follow-up conversation with Jenna Gaidusek, we move beyond what AI can do and dig into what it should do inside your business.
Because here’s the thing:
Ignoring AI is not leadership.But using it without standards? That’s not leadership either.
In this episode, we talk about:
-
What is absolutely off-limits when using AI
-
Why uploading other people’s intellectual property is a hard no
-
How to protect client financial and project data
-
Why “Chat said so” is not a strategy
-
How to create internal SOPs and guardrails for your team
AI is a tool. It is not exercising judgment for you. It is not leading your business for you.
If you are the principal of your firm, you are responsible for how this technology is used.
This episode will help you think like a CEO in the age of AI and put boundaries in place before problems arise.
Because systems create freedom. And standards protect integrity.
