🏆 Award winning 'Hybrid Virtual Office' Miro board design

This is simply incredible @Lucie A! I still get giddy seeing @Said Saddouk’s art and Hiro’s Onboarding experience build on the staircase :)This is a showstopper...end of story! Sets a new bar for sure!

First off, loving this addition to Miro. I can think of all kinds of interesting use cases for the idea generator, and summarizing sticky notes. This piece of feedback is on the image generator. As a test, I asked for a map of North America, and this was the result:North America?Missing a few key countries like Canada and Mexico. So, I refined the search to a Map of North America with Canada and Mexico, and this was the result. I give you, Nortih Anmerdiica The west coast has a few new land masses, and I have no idea what the island cluster is, though I would like to visit Zaplada, Cancia, Canjada, Canmada, and Canaaa. Interesting results. A google image search did a much better job here, but definitely not as funny. Will keep trying things out and report back findings :)

Miro board creation as a service?

Hi @mazylis! Yes, @Robert Johnson is very kind to point out that my company Hiro Studio builds and (if required) facilitates Miro experiences, to support summits, conferences, meetings, and process/workflow.Check us out (https://hirostudio.co/) and if you think it is a good fit, drop me a line at jon@hirostudio.co.Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your plans to create a Miro board around your company structure :)Thanks!

Miro Orientation Cafe Design

Great job @Jonathan White on this! How long do you find it takes a small group to go through the overall set of steps? Kiron Great question @Kiron Bondale. I would typically set aside 20 mins for this experience, maybe 30 mins if you have more than 7 people, as you can anticipate a few technical issues and questions from the crowd. With the video demonstrations in there, I would even feel comfortable sending this board to clients ahead of time for some asynchronous self learning. Maybe record a loom video of your own to introduce the experience and then see how they do!

Miro Orientation Cafe Design

Love this template – thanks for sharing, @Jonathan White! This is a great use case for invisible frames or layers where the frames could be stored and then hidden. Why? So I could use the Frames panel to navigate the board, but we don’t have to see the frames. Yep, totally agree @Robert Johnson. Instead, we use invisible shapes behind everything to drive the wayfinding links. Using a ton of frames on this experience really brought the look and feel down a level, so we ditched them in favour of this design!

Model Miro Academy?

I found myself very much enjoying the experience academy.miro.com offered to take courses and sign up for webinars. Is this a function that is offered through Miro? To create courses, host webinars, etc. that could be a substitute for using something like Thinkific or Udemy? Cheers, Tym Hi @Tymothy Roy ! There are ways that some of my clients have used Miro as a course within a board, creating a dash board frame with linking items to a curriculum - and playing with the wayfinding on the board. You could also create a presentation which has smart links. However, in the true sense like you’re talking about there’s no real out of the box feature for this, but I’ve seen it used in this way by designing it. This wouldn’t really be a replacement for Thinkific though, it’s not designed in that way. @Jonathan White may have done this also for some of his clients and can chime in! @Tymothy Roy and @Rachel Course content can be really brought to life in Miro, as you can not on

Out of necessity, my team has created a very basic Miro orientation board that covers the basics for new users @McNisky. It contains a basic overview of Miro, some basic tips to get started, a space to try things out, and then a focused ice breaker activity. We prefer to take folks through this myself so I can answer questions on the fly, but if folks want to go through it independently, we have provided visual instructions and video demonstrations wherever possible. Here it is if anyone wants to take a peek, set in our very approachable coffee shop theme :) @Jonathan White that’s so fancy I haven’t seen what your team created yet --- THIS IS AMAAAAZING!!! WOW! Definitelyyy going to use, this – Such a great primer and looks fun Y’all have inspired me to submit this orientation as a Miroverse submission!

Rachel, what made you do the jump from a 9-5 to running your own business? Any tips to those who want to follow suit? Hi @Joseph Zambrano this has been a zig zaggy road for me :) I’ve done everything from work for start ups to nonprofits and large (like huge) corporations. I was wanting a bit more freedom to take on projects that aligned with my own purpose -- Bringing joy and energy to immersive workshop experiences (this is both virtual or in person) Even while in other jobs I’ve always been an intrapreneur -- and entrepreneur just within another company! I like to work the way I work best and this is the way to do it. My advice for other who want to jump ship and do the same: ➡️ Really get clear on your purpose of what you’re doing -- have a point of view ➡️ Start to build a personal brand around that point of view, join related communities, make your voice heard out there (like on LinkedIn), speak at conferences, anything that aligns ➡️ Always check in with what y

Loving all of this info! How can one best use Miro or any other tools to foster creativity in a hybrid workspace, where half of your team may be working from home while the other half is in the office? Good question @Arianna Davis! I think creativity is fostered through inclusion, and Miro really shines in this space. Hybrid meetings and events can often leave the remote attendees feeling left out or lacking, as they are not in the live room where a lot of the attention is usually focused. A good hybrid event or meeting will make the remote attendees feel as included as the in-person attendees.Really think about this when considering your next meeting or event. If you have a problem to solve, using stickies in Miro to give everyone the opportunity to brainstorm or ideate is much better than opening the mic for whomever has an idea. Often, introverts will take a back seat to the loudest voice in the room, and some people are intimidated by the highest paid person (Hippo!), so they

” … that people look at creativity or play in a workshop as childish, frivolous, pointless… basically do not see it’s value. Great points! I also think trying new ways of working can be very intimidating in a public work setting. Some feel expected to “play” and essentially add value, but the tools and environment feel awkward or inaccessible to them. A lot of people aren’t used to co-creation or using new tools on the spot. Especially outside of creative / design fields, I’ve found brainstorming is often done in the form of talking meetings and keeping meeting minutes / summaries. I’d be curious how different moderators have found success with intro’ing Miro to new users or if they make them go through a basic training to learn basic UI tools? Out of necessity, my team has created a very basic Miro orientation board that covers the basics for new users @McNisky.

I’m totally new to Miro! What’s one exercise you’d recommend introducing Miro to your team with. To get them comfortable and excited using the platform? This is a fantastic question @Roya Shariat!I like to think of Miro users in two categories: contributors and creators. Creators are those who take the time to create amazing Miro experiences for their teams and clients. Contributors are those who will come to a workshop or session and provide their feedback. The skillset required to be a creator are much more intensive than to be a contributor, as creators are required to know more about everything the Miro platform can do, and blend this with meeting the overall purpose of the workshop or session (solving a problem, obtaining feedback, managing a workflow, etc.).When introducing people to Miro for the first time, you should choose a very simple activity that they can contribute to, typically an ice breaker (or ice melter as @Rachel Rachel likes to say). Use this activity to introduc

Moving from Excel to Miro

@Andrew Sauter Kiron is correct, there is no out of the box way to do this, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be done through some crafty workshop design or custom coding.My company Improve creates Miro Experiences for consultants, trainers, and facilitators. I would love to see how you are incorporating Miro into your practice, and how you are using the combination of Miro and Excel to get to the outcome you need. There might be a way to visually present your information without Excel, but even if we need to get into Miro’s back-end, I have colleagues that can do this customization in the Miro API.Feel free to drop me a DM or message here and we can connect to go over your needs and see if we can find a path forward that will work for you :)Thanks and I look forward to speaking with you!

Miro Live: Into the Miroverse — you are invited 🚀

Cannot wait to be a part of this with fans, collaborators, and fellow Miroversers! Even if one of my Miroverse templates (Cross-Functional Flowchart) has been rendered pretty useless thanks to Miro’s enhanced diagramming tools and functionality. I should update that one and resubmit it I suppose, the instructions were pretty solid 😋

Turn your Miro cards into Asana and Trello tasks!

This looks really cool @Daniel Dixon! I have had a few clients recently ask about this two-way integration with popular task/project management tools, and mostly have told them to stand by until this gets figured out, but it looks like your team has it nailed!Now I have a few more apps to learn!

Embedding a Picture-in-Picture ViewOpen

Haha, it is all about visibility @Henrik Ståhl, we need the right people to see this and then understand the request. It’s a pretty specific use case, but like many great Miro tools and techniques, you won’t think about it until you need it, or you won’t know you need it until you see it in action.This improvement would just keep folks from jumping all over a Miro board to see what different groups worked on, and so it could be an excellent way to summarize the work done.

Cheers to closing out 2021, Miro Community! 🎉

It is constantly a highlight to see the Miro Community grow and improve, with many of the same faces continuing to lead the charge, and new faces bring new ideas, fresh energy, and a willingness to learn.Distributed this year was definitely one of my highlights, as the amazingly talented @Rachel already mentioned. That has been the most people on a Miro board that I have ever personally seen, and I still get goosebumps to watch the replay and see when everyone was sending the reactions up the screen. What a rush!My application to become a Miro Expert was approved, and my profile page is in the works and should be up early next year. Pretty cool!Also, I have been very fortunate to turn my passion for Miro into revenue by helping clients create Miro experiences all over the globe. Last year, my work was 99% based in Canada, and this year I got to reach Australia, Dubai, Germany, Spain, UK, and the US. I hope to reach double that number of countries next year, and I attribute a large part

Looking for someone to help create a TEMPLATE for the work I do

Hi @MicallefP1! This is a new service I am offering, helping consultants, trainers, and facilitators to convert their physical offerings into digital products/services. I have over 4 years of experience with Miro, and over my 20+ year career, I have facilitated countless workshops and delivered training both physically and virtually.I have been exposed to many types of workshops, and so I believe I would have a lot to offer in terms of overall look and feel, but also to flow, instructions, and ensuring the outcomes for the program are met. I also focus on creating experiences that are welcoming for new Miro Users and satisfying for seasoned Miro pros.I would be happy to walk you through some of my designs and give you a few links to the Virtual Miro User Group events that I host monthly so you can see my approach to event/workshop facilitation in Miro. I can also provide a few references in this area if you would like to speak to some of my current or former clients.To get you started,

Are there designers here that are getting paid to create custom Miro templates?

I too have had the good fortune to help a few folks out with some Miro designs, everything from activity design to Miro Skills Training, to digitization of formerly in-person workshops and events. I think this is a new line of business I want to explore, as I very much enjoy designing fun or engaging experiences.I’ve learned a lot from the community and through my time as a the Co-North American Miro User Group Leader, so I generally like to consider the user experience, and helping design boards that take advantage of what Miro can do, while avoiding scenarios where Miro might not be the best tool. I’ve been engaging a few graphics design artists to really put some oomph behind a some board designs, but there is a lot you can do to on your own with a good stock photo and image library to keep overall costs down.I work well with folks who just want a board or activity designed for them, but I really prefer working with individuals who want a design, but also want coaching on how to cre

Looking for a freelancer to do a Miro Board while I facilitate the meeting

Hi @Rhonda PageI do a lot of Miro design and workshop facilitation, so I can help with your request. I'd be interested to see what your workshop looks like currently, and perhaps we can design a framework that gets your workshop participants entering their own information. As Kiron says, the learning curve is not too steep and I have had good success with first time users. Fire me a message if you are interested in meeting in the next few days, and we can discuss options and best first steps. Thanks! Jon
