Summary
End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework AI is moving fast in architecture, but most firms still aren't sure how to use it without losing control of the work. In this episode, Brandon Mut shares what it looks like to bring new tools into a real practice with discipline, not hype. You'll hear how one design technology leader built standards first, then tested AI against finished projects, and only then let it into the workflow. You'll also hear the metric they used to judge results, and why "don't change anything" is harder than it sounds. Along the way, they talk about fears, liability, sustainability, training younger staff, and what might change over the next few years. The quiet mistake that makes "AI adoption" backfire inside a firm. A simple way to tell whether AI is helping—or secretly shifting your design. Why the wave won't be about tools… it'll be about who stays in charge. To learn more about Brandon, visit his website: https://fogartyfinger.com/
