Talking AI · Context, Control, Collaboration: Why Capability Was Never the Bottleneck · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

If you are not in the details around what is the existing process,

then you could be extremely successful automating your workflow.

And what you may find is that all you really did was automate mediocrity and you didn't get the full outcome of what's there.

Hey, thank you for having me.

Looking forward to the conversation.

I think it's because when you really step back and you think about what is happening here, this is transformation writ large.

And transformation is never just about the capability of the technology.

It always comes down to the people, the process, and the tech.

And the thing that is really unique about the moment that we're all having right now is it's being experienced by pretty much everyone at the same time.

Prior technology waves played out in more of a wave-like fashion where you had the technology adoption curve, where you had the early adopters, you had mainstream, you had the late adopters coming out, so people had time to be able to absorb the change.

Instead, what's happening is we're all collectively having this conversation about the technology

all while our people and processes are trying to catch up at the same time.

And that's creating a lot of the friction that you're referring to in terms of how do you create that sort of recurring value that happens at scale and not just within an individual or a team silo.

So context, control and collaboration

is the way we at Wrike talk about the value of our platform in the era that we're in right now.

And if you step back and you quickly define what those terms mean, I think context is pretty uniformly understood that the more specificity to whatever the topic at hand is, in a pre-AI era or in the current era, the better grounded you are in terms of the decision-making around that.

And the platform we built here at Wrike was always about

gathering context to improve decision-making.

But I'd say everyone's got a pretty good understanding of context.

Control, I think people are beginning to have a similar understanding of, and control can mean a few things.
