+## PDI Future Ready Town Hall
+
+### Minutes
+
+Mitch and Aaron reiterated positive sentiments
+about our volume of awarded work.
+
+The current onboarding class has 74.
+
+praised recruiting for recent success,
+noting a significant number
+of mechanical and plumbing foremen.
+
+Noted that a major barrier to growth
+is the availability of skilled labor.
+PDI is largely not interested in buying competitors to address this,
+and would rather continue to train those early in their careers.
+
+PDI has been looking into [[ai]] to create or find tools
+to make existing resources more productive.
+
+> We estimate \$12 billion in scope per year,
+> but can only take \$1.5 billion.[^1]
+
+[^1]: I may be misremembering these figures.
+
+### Takeaway
+
+We are years away from significant changes.
+
+> "If anyone feels like they can contribute, please say so."

+> scratch notes points for an email to Mike Reynolds,

+
+I share Mitch and Aaron's vision
+of eliminating rote work...
+
+Has the Data & AI team been in communication
+with stakeholders in the decision late last year
+to move to Accubid Anywhere?
+
+I used Accubid Anywhere in my previous position only a year ago,
+and, while it is far and away superior to Classic,
+the few "AI" features it did have...
+Moreover, it lacked input patterns necessary
+As I see it, ConEst will be at Trimble's mercy
+for any meaningful benefit to our process
