The Basics are the Bottleneck: Why AI Stalls in EHS Before it Starts

Syncra Group is a leading voice in AI use in EHS. Syncra’s Arianna Howard presented at the 2026 Region II PDC, 2026 ASSP PDC, and most recently has been interviewed by ASSP on the role of its emerging Standards Based User Group (SBUG).

We’re lucky to have another of of Syncra’s founding partners, TJ Armic, join us in September.

TJ will discuss first principles of AI adoption for EHS pros. After attending this meeting, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify and describe the five dimensions of EHS digital maturity; Strategy & Leadership, Technology & Infrastructure, Process & Operations, People & Culture, Data & Analytics
  • Classify a real blocker from your own program (e.g., blocked connectors, an undocumented workflow, low frontline adoption) onto the correct one of the five dimensions.
  • Assess your own program’s current standing across the five dimensions and justify which single dimension to act on first.

Join us for this virtual meeting to hear from one of our industry’s leading voices on AI!

With a background as a U.S. Navy Industrial Hygiene Officer, serving overseas and on ships, and years leading EHS systems strategy in the private sector, TJ brings both practitioner credibility and technical depth. His IH background makes him inquisitive. He’s lived the frustration of disconnected systems, dual data entry, and “solutions” that create more work than they solve. That firsthand experience drives his approach: start with the people doing the work.

As Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Syncra Group, TJ leads organizations through the complete digital lifecycle: from diagnosing why current systems aren’t delivering value, to defining requirements that reflect how work actually happens, to designing implementation strategies that account for organizational readiness and change management realities. His work spans manufacturing, mining, technology, and industrial operations, focusing on bridging the gap between EHS, IT, and operations so that digital investments deliver measurable returns. TJ is based in Chicago, Illinois.

Find him on LinkedIn and at Syncra Group.
