Story
Industrials work at Balfour Beatty spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United Kingdom. Software delivery was splitting across regional habits. Developers asked for a shared way to run engineering without freezing local judgment.
OpenAI (OpenAI API) is what they standardized on. OpenAI develops foundation models and ChatGPT Enterprise, used by companies to build assistants, analyze documents, and speed knowledge work. Balfour Beatty uses it as the system of record for software delivery, with developers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
