This week WorkBoard is announcing the integration of generative AI (genAI) across its full suite to close crucial alignment and execution gaps that plague enterprise strategy achievement. These advancements promise to dramatically accelerate the time it takes to align on strategy and OKRs across the organization, move from desired outcomes to best course of action, and drive focus where it is most needed. This breakthrough in strategy execution ushers in a new era of high focus, efficiency, and agility for large enterprises that must execute well in dynamic markets despite resource constraints.
“Generative AI helps us eliminate the last remaining friction in perfect strategy execution for customers by collapsing the time to align on long-range and near-term outcomes, develop action plans to achieve them, and manage against them efficiently at high scale and speed. Even more exciting is the ability to synthesize vast amounts of execution insight on the trajectory and friction to outcomes that can inform strategic choices.”— Deidre Paknad, CEO and Co-Founder of WorkBoard
In the past few months, we've concentrated on improving the user interface and functionality of our canvas feature. The WorkBoard co-author is designed to take advantage of these enhancements, allowing users to collaborate and interact in the same environment where they currently conduct retrospectives and develop OKRs. The co-author will generate suggestions and drafts directly within the canvas, utilizing data from team retrospectives, previous quarter results, and upline OKRs.
WorkBoard’s co-author will use genAI, and the new WorkBoard language model, WoBoLM, to enable enterprises to:
“The VMware team uses WorkBoard to help reduce operational debt by building transparency, focus, accountability, and now insights through AI. I am incredibly excited about today's newly announced innovations, which will allow leaders to build draft versions of strategies, OKRs and identify leading and lagging insights — all based on historic precedent and previous success within the company. Ultimately this will help teams at every level improve their ability to plan, measure and iterate to better serve customers.”— Joel Neeb, VP Execution and Transformation, Office of the CEO at VMware
Deidre Paknad, CEO and Co-Founder of WorkBoard, expressed her excitement about the transformative impact of AI when combined with WorkBoard's decade of experience in strategy execution. She stated, "Generative AI helps us eliminate the last remaining friction in perfect strategy execution for customers by collapsing the time to align on long-range and near-term outcomes, develop action plans to achieve them, and manage against them efficiently at high scale and speed. Even more exciting is the ability to synthesize vast amounts of execution insight on the trajectory and friction to outcomes that can inform strategic choices."
“WorkBoard is enabling companies to harness the intelligence of their own strategy execution data managed in our platform while benefiting from the power of a domain-specific large language model to generate strong suggestions faster – without worrying that their data ever lands in the public domain or competitors’ hands.”— Daryoush Paknad, CTO and Co-Founder of WorkBoard
Building on WorkBoard’s previous use of AI to infer alignment and recommend collaboration opportunities and leveraging its enormous, anonymized strategy execution data set, WorkBoard is building WoBoLM to ensure smart recommendations that advance strategy execution speed and certainty for its customers. With over 2.5 billion transactions per year to inform its learning model and a private-by-design data tenant for each customer, WorkBoard’s customers can confidently increase their execution advantages in a world where competitive research is made vastly easier by ChatGPT.

A number of enterprises are already engaged as WorkBoard development partners, and the first set of capabilities will be available this quarter. WorkBoard will showcase its end-to-end integration of Generative AI at its flagship user conference, Accelerate, this October where speakers from Bain, Intel, Albemarle, VMWare, CarMax, and others are speaking.
