Align or Die: AEC’s Strategy Crisis
📰 Leadership Edge 200: Building authentic strategy around a simple framework. Aligning tools, culture, and metrics to avoid digital transformation failure, overcome AI hype, and drive meaningful change in your AEC firm.

Summary
In the milestone 200th episode of TRXL, I had the privilege of welcoming Nathan Miller back to the mic because few people in our space cut through the noise like he does. We covered the uncomfortable realities of digital transformation. Particularly, why most efforts fail, and why strategy, not tech, should lead the conversation. Nate introduced his Smarts, Health, and Fitness framework, which I believe is an incredibly practical and honest model for firm leaders navigating today’s rapid technological shifts.
“Strategy should ask the question: is this helping me be the best me I can be, or taking something away I never wanted to give up?” — Nathan Miller
