about the future of distributed teamwork
November 5, 2020
Miro pioneered the collaboration market with its online whiteboard back in 2011 (as RealtimeBoard). Early adopters quickly got the benefits of getting together in front of PC screens and collaborating as if they were in the same room, but had trouble defining how to use it for work every day; or, what’s possible, and what’s not? As the solution was completely new, we joined those early enthusiasts in an exciting journey to establish online whiteboarding practices.
Strategic Programs Lead at Miro
Olena is a startups mentor and ambassador, particularly passionate about sustainability, circular economy, and social startups. She’s committed to helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals.
Time has passed, whiteboard fans grew to millions of users worldwide, and the whiteboard content we now create is far beyond the horizons we could imagine nine years ago:
Many Miro customers became real experts in integrating online whiteboarding into their marketing, design thinking, and scrum practices. So we decided why don’t we let you learn from these time-tested professionals and create a trustworthy expertise hub to search for help, get the most innovative knowledge, or get inspired.
We launch Miro Experts — a network of hand-selected consultants and agencies — to ensure that every business that comes to Miro is never alone with a collaboration, transformation, or innovation challenge. A set of the best creative and strategic minds from around the world are here to help you master Miro, or just become even more innovative, creative, and successful collaborator.
We’re thrilled to launch this program with our 29 outstanding launch partners covering 24 locations, including the U.S., the Netherlands, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and worldwide and ensure to grow more in the upcoming future.
Your team expectations on the upcoming remote workshops are high. At the same time, you don’t feel 100% comfortable on the agenda or toolkit. Consult or even hire Miro Experts to facilitate your next meeting, learn the best practices, and get simple guidelines on how to move forward.
Example: Limelights are professional facilitators of change for groups of 25 to 1,000 people, and one of the recent online workshops for 180 people using Miro was a huge success.

The world wasn’t prepared for 2020. But consulting firms adapted as quickly as possible and offered the new virtual experience to well-known routines.
Example: Abracademy organizes virtual offsites in Miro and creates online magical moments with teams.

When you feel comfortable structuring and visualizing information, it’s never too late to add a design polish, especially using the professional help of experts specializing in Miro board design.
Example: Ok, while many people expect that here at Miro we’re the best in boards design, we should admit that we just know what Experts to collaborate with. For example, the team at HUED elevated our recent Distributed 2020 conference with the cleverly designed navigation board you see below.
Now with the Miro Experts directory, you can more easily identify and work with a trusted group of products and agencies, which is continuously reviewed and growing.
For example, you can quickly contact and work with DesignStudio, one of the leading global brand experience agencies designing, building, and transforming the world’s most ambitious brands like Airbnb, Tencent Games, British Airways, and more.
When you feel that you need to see a problem from a different angle and unlock new opportunities, make sure you’ve checked what Miro Experts can offer. They are on the edge of professional transformation, continuously seeking and mastering innovative approaches to common disciplines.
Example: Fluxx is a leading independent innovation company that helps organizations solve complex business problems. They train teams, leaders, and, in some cases, entire businesses to adopt their agile design-thinking methods so that they can solve problems for themselves.
The majority of Miro Experts have years of consulting experience in Miro, and have developed a unique approaches to solving common challenges. If you and your team have exhausted your go-to options, contact an Expert to show you new approaches.
Example: Strategic integration, cinematic storytelling, and sensemaking process are just a few of the unique offerings niwaki offers to their clients, positioning themselves as an interdisciplinary transformation partner.
Only the Experts that demonstrate a strong understanding of Miro, a successful portfolio, and publicly shared best practices, get access. So you can rest assured that you’re in good hands that the Experts you choose to work with can support your unique needs.
