Episode 19 - AI or Aye Aye Captain? Navigating the High Seas of Perception in Projects
šļø Welcome to Episode 19 of the Gen AI Podcast!
Strap in, folks, because Dale and Greg are back from their whirlwind tour of global conferences, and theyāre serving up insights hotter than your in-flight meal (assuming they didnāt run out of chicken). This week, we dive deep into the wild world of AI adoption in project management, the construction industryās so-called productivity crisis, and, of course, a healthy dose of existential musing about human emotion and perception.
00:00 ā Intro
Dale and Greg catch up after their globetrotting adventures and reflect on the joys and perils of business travel. (Spoiler: Being home for Christmas wins every time.)
05:10 ā Automation vs. Generation
Greg breaks down AI for the everyday project professional: is it about automation or creation? Dale tries to simplify it with math, but Greg takes it a step deeper (cue existential dichotomy).
11:50 ā Planes, Pilots, and AI Pals
Would you board a pilotless plane? Daleās audience poll reveals trust issues with AIāeven though it flies better than your average junior planner.
16:30 ā Perception in Project Management
Whoever controls the narrative controls the room. Dale and Greg unpack why perception shapes project success more than hard data ever will.
24:00 ā Misconceptions About the Construction Industry
Is construction really broken? Greg debunks two big myths:
(Also featuring chocolate and deathāstay tuned for the correlation!)
33:00 ā Selling Project Controls: Safety and Comfort
Greg explains how great project controls create emotional safety, comfort, and a dash of excitement for stakeholders. And no, itās not about the size of your PMO team; itās about the value of your insights.
40:20 ā Addictive AI and Virtual Companions
Consumer AI is getting personalāsometimes a little too personal. Greg explores how addictive design might shape the next wave of AI interactions (including virtual "companions").
49:10 ā The Year in Review
Dale and Greg reflect on their first year of podcasting, the experiment of zero guests, and their plans to close the year strong with Episode 20. Will they finally get all four hosts together? (Probably not.)
51:30 ā Gregās Closing Thoughts
A heartfelt thank-you to listeners for joining this pub chat with mics. Cheers to more debates, discussions, and maybe even some guests in the new year!
Listener Challenge
Think weāre wrong? Tell us! Dale and Greg love a good debateāespecially if it involves whiskey and arguments about project controls.
