How Technology is Reshaping Engineering Business Models

On this episode of Engineering Influence, CTO Ron Sattan joins host Thomas Grogan to explore how engineering firms are moving beyond time-and-materials toward subscriptions, platforms, and outcome-based pricing. They dig into how data, AI, and agents are opening new service lines, driving efficiency, and creating revenue streams that don’t depend on billable hours. Ron also shares practical steps firms can take now: building the right culture, getting data ready, and starting with focused pilots. For early-career professionals, his advice is simple: stay curious, and bring your problem-solving ideas to the table.
