From Uncertainty to the Team Asking for More Seats

"I think the experience with IQ Source has been a very positive one from the moment we started the training. At the beginning there is always some fear, because we were afraid it would start from the assumption that everyone already knew what artificial intelligence was, and there were people in the office, directors and managers, who had never used it. I think IQ Source and Ricardo had the patience to teach us the advantages of artificial intelligence and how to work with it. And the most interesting part is that the whole training was built on exercises, so that they could see for themselves how artificial intelligence could be useful for each one of the departments. Not general exercises either, but exercises from inside the company itself, where Ricardo would ask: how do you think this can help you? Look, I have this, I have that, I do this by hand, can it help me? Yes, let us work through an example. So, with the examples, people grew comfortable working with artificial intelligence."

"In my own case, for example, I analyse sales every month. Once I put the data in, I ask artificial intelligence for a high-level analysis of the situation company by company. It does not take five minutes and I already have it, and I send it to the sales people, which is an important tool for them to work out where to focus, where sales are lowest, or which trends are heading down and which are heading up, and to make the decisions right away. The same in the finance department: handling the evolution of accounts receivable and accounts payable through a high-level analysis that artificial intelligence produces, where you can pull the last few months of data in a matter of minutes. Before, that was a financial analysis that took the finance department several hours and even days. When we had to run cash flows for the banks, which ask us for updated information every six months, the finance director sometimes spent days and even weeks preparing them. Now you only have to give artificial intelligence the fundamentals and the technology runs all of the information for you."
