At DISTek, being 100% employee-owned means having a personal stake in our company's success. But true ownership goes beyond the financial benefits of an ESOP. It shows up in how we approach our work, support our teammates, serve our clients, and plan for the future.

In celebration of Employee Ownership Month, we're exploring what it really means to think like an owner and how everyday actions help build a stronger company for everyone.

Ownership may begin with shares, but thinking like an owner is what gives those shares meaning.

Over the past several months, our team has been putting AI to the test through DISTek’s Amplify with AI Challenge - exploring real-world applications, sharing ideas, and finding new ways to create meaningful value.

But the challenge was never simply about using more AI. It was about finding the right balance between emerging technology and the experience, expertise, and judgment of our people.

As we wrap up the challenge, we’re sharing more about the thinking behind Amplify with AI and why we believe a balanced approach to AI matters.

Explore how DISTek is approaching AI in embedded software engineering by balancing innovation, productivity, technical expertise, and human judgment.

Our DSM team recently got together at Smash Park in West Des Moines for a summer social filled with good food, friendly competition, and plenty of laughs. From pickleball and yard games to catching up over wings and snacks, it was a great chance to step away from the day-to-day and enjoy some time together.

Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make it such a fun evening. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
