Data is the backbone of modern organizations. Teams use data to gain insights about customer behavior, audit and optimize operations, forecast future events, and uncover hidden trends that can lead to growth. But while data is critical, many organizations still struggle to harness it effectively. For example, their datasets may be expansive, disconnected, or siloed across numerous platforms, so aggregating it and drawing tangible insights to drive positive change can be really difficult.

September in Miroverse was as productive as the harvest season, with our incredible Creators cultivating over 170 new templates! Let’s dive into the highlights and celebrate those who stood in the community!

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!

Today, it’s more important than ever for companies to be able to share internal and customer data with key stakeholders. At the same time, they need to protect that data from malicious actors in order to prevent costly and reputation-damaging leaks. To strike that balance of connectivity, reliability, and security, many companies now use cloud-based databases in place of on-premise technology.
