It’s always important to have an up-to-date visual of who’s who in your organization, whether you’re trying to create an accurate hiring plan or looking to better support cross-functional collaboration. That’s where an org chart comes in. It’s a visual representation of the hierarchy of your company — the different departments, roles, and reporting structure.

We’re thrilled to introduce the Innovation Workspace, the most significant product update in Miro’s history, to help teams innovate together, innovate faster, innovate their way, and innovate securely on one intelligent canvas. You’ve probably noticed that at Miro, we have a borderline unhealthy obsession with innovation. We love to see teams come together to create the next big thing. Because when it works, it’s beautiful.

With dispersed teams across the world and a slew of new technologies to connect us, the way we work together is changing. While asynchronous work is on the rise and meeting time is on the decline, the time spent in meetings — and how people spend that time — remains divisive.

Another month, another round of updates that will help you and your team work faster and smarter in Miro. And in this update, you will notice a big focus on innovation. Staying ahead, or even sometimes afloat, of your daily tasks and strategic work can take a lot of effort, causing that much needed innovation and collaboration to fall victim to a tiresome and complicated workflow. This is where our latest round of updates come into play!

But while the process of taking notes is helpful in and of itself, it can still be improved. For example, depending on your handwriting, the location of your notes, or even how organized you are, it may not be so simple to read your scribbles or even find the information you want to revisit.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a game-changing tool, offering product marketers (PMMs) new opportunities to enhance their strategies, streamline workflows, and drive remarkable results. By integrating AI into their arsenal, PMMs can now make data-driven decisions with greater accuracy, work with increased efficiency, and craft marketing campaigns that resonate deeply with their target audience.

Mainstream AI has arrived, and with it all the questions about what this means for our jobs and our businesses. Which tasks are best handled by humans, which do we want to hand over to AI, and which are most effective through some kind of human-AI collaboration? Will leaders need to up-skill entire workforces? And will all this make work better? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the pace of change. But, equally, now is not the time to take a back seat to wait and see what happens.

The role of design teams in modern businesses has evolved dramatically.
