Wrike

Wrike Springboard 2026 brought together leaders and customers to answer one question: what does AI actually look like when it stops being a future conversation and starts being a now one? The answer wasn't theoretical. It was customer-built AI agents helping teams do 10x more at work. Practical workflows. Real results, not hype. The blog recap pulls together the five biggest takeaways from the event, including the most useful piece of advice we heard all day: the best place to start with AI isn't your most ambitious workflow. It's the intake form, approval process, or weekly report your team already complains about. Small, annoying, and nobody wants to own it. That's the starting line. Full recap linked in the comments. 👇

There's a story you've been telling at dinner parties for a year and a half. The project that should've gone sideways but didn't. The workflow you cobbled together at 11pm before a Q1 kickoff that, somehow, your whole team still uses. The thing you built with Wrike or Klaxoon that you keep thinking somebody should write this up. We've been thinking the same thing. Collaborate 2026 is coming, and we're looking for the people behind those stories. If that sounds like something you've lived through (and we're betting it does), we'd love to hear from you. Sessions are virtual, the prep team is genuinely good at their jobs, and the audience is people who get it. Other PMs. Other ops leads. Other folks who've been the only one in the room who knew where the actual files were. Throw your hat in. We're listening. Link in the comments.

Day 5 of 7 Days of Elite Impact: AI Strategy 🤖 Everyone's "leveraging AI" these days. (Look, we even used air quotes.) But there's a difference between letting your team loose on ChatGPT and actually building something useful.

Result: less admin, better submissions, faster reviews. He took home the 2025 AI Strategy Category Winner title for a reason. → Alison (Ali) Moses (Varsity Yearbook) integrated Wrike Copilot into their facility-wide knowledge base, turning an SOP graveyard into an AI-powered self-service tool that actually answers people's questions. Less AI hype. More AI that earns its keep. 📖 Read their full stories: https://lnkd.in/giYsNhhE ⭐ Know a Wrike power user who deserves the spotlight?

Sometimes it's about looking at a broken process, asking "why does it have to be this way?" and rebuilding it from scratch.

The result? 3,000+ hours saved every month and 95%+ forecast accuracy. → Dan Criel engineered an "event queuing" system with Wrike Integrate that eliminated API rate limiting and turned manual, error-prone processes into a fully automated experience. → Pietro Poli overhauled his company's project management to flow directly from their ERP into Wrike, cutting daily manual checks by 95%. 📖 Read their full stories: https://lnkd.in/giYsNhhE ⭐ Know a Wrike power user who deserves the spotlight?
