Case Study: VMware achieves strategy one year early with WorkBoardAI

VMware achieves strategy one year early with WorkBoard

VMware, a software company specializing in virtualization and cloud computing, faced an urgent need to transform its business as the industry shifted. The challenge involved aligning dozens of acquired companies operating in isolation, a problem not resolved by previous initiatives. Dozens of manual business reviews with stale data consumed time without creating clarity, and employee engagement scores reflected a lack of understanding around strategic priorities. To address this, VMware turned to the vendor WorkBoard and its WorkBoardAI product.

By implementing WorkBoardAI, VMware gained fast alignment and org-wide transparency. The CEO drove the transformation using WorkBoardAI scorecards in twice-monthly meetings. The solution enabled the company to achieve its strategic goals, including a substantial revenue target, a full year ahead of schedule. WorkBoard also helped satisfaction, retention, and engagement scores at the director level to shoot up, with leaders noting they achieved more in a quarter than they previously had in a year.
