A great strategy needs a great plan of action or it’s just dust in the wind

Customer Renewals Board Most software companies have a strategic priority to reduce churn, but lack visibility to the discrete accounts and the work required to maintain each of those accounts as clients. Manage account or subscription renewals with columns for likely to churn, at risk and ready to renew with stop light colors for each. Automate status changes and hand offs by simply dragging an account across different statuses. Finally, update your key results to showcase percentage of accounts renewed on your WorkBoard Business Review.

Journey and Value Maps: Developing personas, articulating their respective value and ensuring it’s embedded across marketing messages, sales training, customer onboarding, and product roadmaps is a strategic priority for all product companies — but it’s inevitably challenging to orchestrate that process cross functionally. Lay out the sequence of work with clear ownership across teams and personnel, tie it to your strategic priorities and let the work flow.

Content Approvals: Innovative companies make it a strategic priority to position differentiated value in on-point content to the right audiences at the right time. Move from content draft to production faster by automating hand offs in the process. Create a flow from ideation, copy, creative, review, iteration and publication with seamless hand offs. Streamline the content-creation process, avoid missed deadlines and confusion on status and ownership.

Values Board: "Living the values" is how companies and teams meet their own expectations.
