At Miro, our mission is to empower teams to create the next big thing. As we navigate the evolving landscape of AI technology, we’re keenly aware of the exciting opportunities it offers, as well as the potential challenges it poses. We believe that simply harnessing AI isn’t enough; it must be wielded with both responsibility and care.

If you want to design optimal user experiences, you can’t skip UX research. It provides insight into what users want and need and how they use your product, which ultimately leads to more satisfied customers. Many companies are adopting a user-first approach to product design. But effective UX research can’t be done in a silo — it requires cross-functional collaboration and engagement from stakeholders throughout your organization.

At Miro, we empower product teams to create the next big thing, regardless of their location, by launching diagramming tools, templates, frameworks, and so much more. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Miro has won the Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) 2023 Independent Software Vendor Partner of the Year award, in recognition of our commitment to building software that shapes the future.

It’s already almost December and we’re excited to end the year with a bang by sharing one of our most impressive updates yet: Miro Assist! This is Miro’s AI-powered innovation partner that can elevate your innovation game. We also have product development and Miroverse improvements to share, and a hint of what to expect next month when we do something extra special to close out the year. Read on for all the details.

With the holiday season in full swing and the end of the year quickly approaching, your team is in the thick of wrapping up loose ends and planning for next year — along with enjoying some festive get-togethers and hopefully taking some well-deserved time off. But there’s one more thing that should be on your to-do list during this busy season: gratitude. Looking for some fun and memorable ways to offer praise, encourage camaraderie, and extend a hearty thank you?

Now that you are using Miro and seeing its benefits for collaborating and innovating with your team, how do you get the rest of them using it too? Here’s how we recommend presenting the Miro to your teammates and coaching them through the why, what, and how, so you can start working together.

In a world where information is highly valued and data is considered valuable, it is essential for companies to have effective tools for data modeling and diagramming. This is especially true for those who want to utilize the potential of their data. The realm of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has been greatly influenced by this surge in data with Salesforce leading the way.

I’m excited to announce that Miro has acquired Freehand, the visual collaboration platform. At Miro, we believe that organizations on the forefront of innovation are radically focused on accelerating time to market and ensuring continuous alignment with customer needs and company strategy. More than 60 million users and 200,000+ organizations worldwide count on Miro to develop strategy, design new products and services, and manage processes through the entire innovation lifecycle.

Time is a scarce resource. No amount of money can buy an extra hour in the day or reclaim an hour of wasted time. Yet, too many of us today aren’t managing where or how we invest this resource responsibly, as we would our finances. In fact, many people regularly stare down impenetrable blocks of back-to-back meetings or double-booked time slots in their calendars.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed when you see a flashing cursor on a blank screen? Or you have so many ideas for a project that you don’t know where to begin? Or perhaps you simply can’t find the information needed to finish the task at hand? A mental block — the feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward with a task or project — is a common part of work that nearly everyone experiences.
