What problems is WorkBoard solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a global business with teams spread across the world, it can be difficult for everyone to feel aligned and involved when it comes to strategy and goal setting; rolling out a structured OKR programme got us a long way towards overcoming this issue - WorkBoard has taken it to the next level. Strategic business objectives are now visible to everyone, this visibility makes it far easier for teams to identify what they should be focusing on in a given period, and crucially, WorkBoard allows individuals to see directly the impact that their efforts are having on the achievement of these business goals - turning something which could otherwise seem a distant concept into a real and tangible target.
General OKR effectiveness has improved; with clearly communicated guidelines for publishing OKRs and submitting timely Key Result updates, everyone knows what's expected of them and when. It's straightforward to see what OKRs your upline team (VPs, Directors etc) has in place, so teams are able to easily create goals that not only support leadership, but also support overall business strategy. 
When it comes to the process of setting quarterly OKRs, teams are finding that WorkBoard's in-built AI functionality helps to refine the focus of their Key Results; rather than replacing discussions around what and how to measure, Co-Author elevates the conversation, prompting teams to set goals that support upline teams and stretch them to success and rather than just checking boxes - the AI input has proven especially useful for teams who see their achievements not measured by traditional financial metrics.
Cross-functional collaboration is now far less challenging - when working on projects or Key Results that require input from different departments, 'dynamic teams' allow for a unified approach, putting everyone involved on the same page with shared Key Results and workstreams that give everyone full visibility of tasks that others are working on. Canvas functionality then allows teams (both dynamic and functional) to come together and actively share retrospective reviews and opinions on the results from the previous quarter, setting them up well for setting targets for the next.
