How the CEO of 8x8 Uses WorkBoardAI as an ERP for Fast Alignment

1 min read

““WorkBoardAI played a significant role in helping us return to growth — it gave us the focus, alignment, and execution habits we needed to drive transformation.”​

Sam Wilson, CEO, 8x8

Before WorkBoardAI​

  • Before WorkBoard, strategy lived in documents and meetings — but it wasn’t guiding day-to-day decisions.
  • Too many priorities and no mechanism to say “no.” Without clarity on what not to do, teams were overloaded, creating confusion and diluted focus.
  • Operational and cross-functional meetings wasted time on readouts without shared facts, and required big slide decks that weren’t absorbed.
  • Nothing connected strategy to execution, leaving the organization fragmented and slowing down transformation.

Value & Results

  • “WorkBoardAI became the platform that connected our strategy directly to execution, giving every team clarity on priorities and enabling realalignment.”
  • "We reclaimed hours of meeting time by putting the facts in WorkBoardAI. Instead of listening to readouts, we spend our time making decisions — and that’s been a massive productivity unlock.”
  • Everyone—from frontline to executives—can see objectives, confidence levels, blockers, and priorities, enabling faster action, fewer surprises, and consistent alignment across teams.

Conclusion

Achieve smart, fast growth with WorkBoard.
