Together, Reforge and Miro will provide a powerful and highly differentiated solution for teams that blends the tools and knowledge needed to innovate in the AI era.
Today, I’m excited to share that Miro is acquiring Reforge , including its people, Learning platform, and products (subject to customary closing conditions). I’m also thrilled to welcome Brian Balfour, Reforge’s CEO, as Miro’s Chief Growth Officer, and Tom Willerer, Reforge’s COO, as our Chief Strategy Officer. AI is reshaping how every person in an organization works, from managing agents and automating workflows to rethinking operating models from the ground up.
In product development, the “concept and ideation” phase is often where the magic happens — or where it’s lost. A common scenario: a dozen browser tabs open, notifications pinging, and a blank document staring back at you. While modern product lifecycle management (PLM) gives us the framework, the “messy” beginning of a product’s life requires something more intuitive than a keyboard.
For over 30 years, productivity tools from legacy vendors have been the cornerstone of the enterprise tech stack. But a massive structural shift is occurring right now. AI agents are coming for the dinosaurs. According to a new Gartner report1, “How AI Workhubs Will Disrupt the Dominance of Productivity Suites,” AI agents are creating the first true challenge to these mainstream legacy tools in decades.
We’re thrilled to see Miroverse Creators using AI solutions more boldly than ever! In February, we added 150 new templates, many of them featuring Flows and Sidekicks. Did you know you can also re-think your existing templates with Flows and Sidekicks? These features can be used in many ways, from summarizing next steps and generating social copy to designing graphics and much more. With AI, your creativity has no limits — plus, it’s a great way to showcase your AI literacy on socials!
Forty-one percent of employees are struggling to fit AI into their daily workflows. It’s got nothing to do with technology and everything to do with management. That’s the finding of a recent Gartner report, The Human-AI Workforce Journey: 5 Steps for CIOs to Accelerate AI-Readiness, which you can download now for free. The most surprising stat? Only 6% of individual contributors have received guidance on the AI skills they need to develop.
Endava is a leading provider of next-generation technology services with 11,000 full-time employees serving enterprise clients across multiple industries. At a time when many organizations are testing AI in pockets — a chatbot here, a model there — Endava recognized the business imperative of a holistic AI transformation strategy at a company-wide level.
As a cloud architect, you’re going to have to embrace AI as part of your job — unless handcrafted artisan cloud becomes a niche in the future. But this doesn’t mean that you’re going to be left by the wayside. Anybody who has used AI coding tools knows that interesting things can happen when decisions are left up to them. So, that means decision-making should be left up to the people and the code writing to the AI bots … right?
AI code-generation tools promised a revolution in software development. And in many ways, they’ve delivered. Code that once took hours to generate now takes minutes. But the goal isn’t just to code faster; it’s to code well. Your teams need to feed AI coding tools the right context to generate code that works with your existing systems, meets your business requirements, and integrates without expensive rework.
We’ve reached a point where almost anybody can create their own AI agent or automation. That’s great for experimentation, but a major headache for IT and security leaders. The question CISOs are grappling with is how to give people the tools to explore agents and agentic workflows while making sure they don’t inadvertently break the law or breach data processing agreements. It’s a problem we ran into at Miro.
