Are you waiting for staff to "figure out" AI, or are you designing an environment where
AI adoption isn’t optional?
AI at Ergeon: A Non-Optional Shift
Engineering
Use AI or risk becoming obsolete.
Recruiting
Stop relying on CVs. AI dashboards are the future.
Sales
AI is already outperforming some of you—so master it.
Engineers initially thought AI-generated code was garbage.
The issue wasn’t AI—it was how they were using it.
Key Enablers
Mindset shift to make GPT assistance the default.
Investing in infrastructure and process changes that make AI integration natural.
Refactor 5-8 sections of code base for GPT compatibility.

For the first time ever we had to hire 50 sales reps in 5 weeks - with two recruiters.
Traditional hiring methods couldn’t scale—AI became the only way forward.
Key Enablers
Shift to AI-generated dashboards instead of CVs.
Trust, but verify.
AI isn’t here to replace human intuition—it’s here to challenge it with data.

Response Time and Time to Interview, days
Bootcamps required hours of role plays that leadership couldn’t scale.
The best reps got one coaching session per week—if they were lucky.
Key Enablers
Design moments for staff to experience AI’s superiority firsthand.
Identify the core problem: sales training was limited by human coaching capacity.

Sales Team Performance
Next Level Analysis
Salesperson and customer behavior analysis no longer limited by our QA rubric.
AI adoption must align with company values.
A Culture-First
Approach
Be Lean: AI allows teams to eliminate low-value work so people can focus on high-impact decisions.
Be Kind: AI helps remove human bias, increase transparency, and ensure inclusivity.
Invest in People: AI mastery should be tied to performance & provide career growth - at our company or beyond.
Redefine what "high performance" means.
Redefine talent strategy
Build AI-empowered teams.
Measure AI adoption
Track behavioral shifts, not just efficiency.
Incentivize AI learning
AI mastery should be a leadership differentiator.
The future of work isn’t AI replacing people
- except when it does.
We worried our distributed team was no longer a moat.
But it gave us the foundations. Our focus on documentation, clean data, and structured workflows make us exceptionally AI-ready.
Your job isn’t to master AI.
It’s to create an environment where AI adoption thrives.
Thank you!
