As artificial intelligence reshapes the way design-build teams prepare proposals, Owners, Owner Advisors, and Procurement Professionals face a growing challenge: increasingly homogenous submissions that obscure real differences in capability, culture, and collaboration. This session explores practical strategies for adapting transportation and aviation procurements to reveal authentic team behavior while embracing AI’s potential to enhance efficiency, insight, and innovation. Through real-world examples and structured facilitation methods, presenters will demonstrate how to design RFPs and interactive meetings that expose the people behind the proposals — using techniques like scenario simulations, co-location exercises, and home-office immersions. The discussion will also highlight how AI can responsibly augment project planning, logistics forecasting, and risk management without replacing human judgment. Attendees will leave with actionable tools — including sample RFQ/RFP prompts, scoring criteria, and interactive meeting templates — to help identify teams with the leadership maturity, cultural alignment, and innovation readiness to deliver infrastructure excellence in an AI-enabled future.
