Case Study: AOL achieves real-time goal transparency and cross-team collaboration with BetterWorks

Real Time Feedback in BetterWorks Breaks Down Silos for AOL

AOL, a global digital media and technology company with 5,000+ employees and brands like The Huffington Post and TechCrunch, found its annual performance‑management process too slow for the pace of the business. Employees had limited visibility into company priorities and the goal‑setting process lacked support for execution and measuring progress, creating information silos and hampering collaboration.

To address this, AOL implemented BetterWorks to make goals, OKRs and progress transparent and real‑time and to add key metrics into the performance process. The result: company‑wide visibility into strategy, reduced silos and increased collaboration, more thoughtful, higher‑quality goals, and faster, more accountable execution.
