“𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.”

Lisa Om, VP Marketing & Communications at USDM Life Sciences, joins Deidre Paknad to discuss how to turn strategy into disciplined ex*****on and what meaningful AI adoption requires.

The shift for USDM Life Sciences began during the pandemic, when constant change, reactive ex*****on, and strategic distractions made focus on long-term vision and goals difficult.

Today, the company operates with clarity, alignment, and ex*****on discipline embedded in daily work, with one shared source of truth for strategy, goals, and progress.

“Alignment is a hard job. It’s continuous. And if you’re a leader, respect that it’s your job.” — Deidre Paknad, CEO of WorkBoard

When everything feels urgent and the noise never really stops, alignment gets even harder.

On the GHX podcast BreakingScript with Tina Vatanka Murphy, Deidre reflects on why this is the reality leaders face today and how to cut through noise, stay grounded, and make clearer decisions under pressure.

“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.”

That’s the message Rory Thompson, Strategic Initiatives Manager at Pax8, brings to life in our latest podcast with Deidre Paknad, CEO of WorkBoard.

Rory shares how Pax8 built a culture of strong ex*****on 𝗯𝘆 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 so every meeting has purpose, structure, and outcomes people actually act on.

WorkBoardAI reinforces that discipline by making progress visible across the organization, enabling leaders and teams to focus on decisions and high-impact work.

And there’s more. Pax8’s creativity in how they use WorkBoardAI to support their meetings genuinely impressed us.

Deidre’s takeaway says it all: “𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.”

You should too.
