This past month Allied Partners took our annual company retreat on a company cruise!  While at sea we explored various topics, all based around exceeding our project Owners’ expectations.  
Some discussions centered around Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), which allowed all of us to develop a deeper understanding of this technology and its opportunities for our projects.  We also brainstormed various ways to help our Owner’s navigate the ever-changing international construction landscape.
