In this episode of Stirring the Pot we’re having a kōrero with Matt Ensor.
AI strategist and industry innovator — he unpacks what the rise of AI really means for the construction sector. From practical tools to mindset shifts, Matt shares his take on where we’re already seeing AI in action (even if we don’t realise it), the challenges we need to prepare for, and how to take the first step if your business hasn’t yet made the leap.
We also chat about the risks of being left behind, what the future of work could look like, and why getting comfortable with disruption might just be your biggest advantage.
💡 Whether you're an engineer, designer, or industry leader — this episode will give you food for thought and a few nudges to get ahead of the AI curve.
