AEC Innovation at Yates Construction: Moving from Specialist to Integrator

Innovation isn't about the tools; it’s about the people using them.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to kick off the Yates Construction 2026 VDC Summit in Jackson, Mississippi. Hosted at the ABC Mississippi event center, this summit brought together the brightest minds in VDC to challenge the status quo and bridge the gap between technical silos and project value.

In this Innovation Workshop, we focused on the fundamental shift required for the next generation of AEC leaders: transitioning from a Technical Specialist to an Indispensable Integrator.

Highlights from the session:

The "Yes, And" Mindset: How to turn technical friction into collaborative project solutions.

People Over Tech: Why digital transformation succeeds or fails based on human engagement.

The 5 Pillar Strategy: A sneak peek into how we align design, schedule, and cost to drive operational excellence.

A huge thank you to Greg Smith, Director of VDC at Yates, for his partnership and vision. And thank you to ABC Mississippi for providing a world-class environment for this transformation to take place.
