What’s the Company Vision Board Template?
The Company Vision Board Template contains a framework for you to have a starting point in defining your company goals, direction, and mission. This template helps you facilitate a company vision workshop, where you can define the following:
What to expect from a company vision day, and why it’s important.
Where are we: the company background story and strengths.
Who are we: team’s personality test results and team member's intros.
What do we do: company’s USPs, audience, and differentiators.
Why do we do it: company vision, mission, and purpose.
How will we get there: a roadmap to achieve your company vision.
Benefits of the Company Vision Board Template
The company vision board is a document that should be shared and used across your organization. Running this workshop helps teams to define a more straightforward path and to make better-informed decisions according to the company’s roadmap and vision. It also helps to build buy-in from team members.
Here are some other benefits of crafting the company vision board:
Define goals according to company values and vision and connect teams around them.
Define strengths and differentiators and what sets the business apart from others.
Connect the team and set roles and responsibilities.
Set targets and actionable points to reach company goals.
How to use Company Vision Board Template
Add the Company Vision Board Template to your Miro board. You’ll find instructions for every step of the workshop in each frame on the template. Remember this is a collaborative session; make sure that everyone is acclimated to the board (check the first frame of the workshop) and knows how to navigate the workshop.
When facilitating a company vision workshop, keep in mind:
Workshop duration: It takes 5-7 hours to run this workshop, so plan ahead.
Prep work: send out the personality tests you’ll need in the workshop beforehand, and write the company’s background story and data from the last year.
Depending on the size of your company, run the company vision workshop on a team level.
After the workshop, you will know:
Where you stand as a company.
Who is everyone on the team.
Your team’s strengths and backgrounds.
What your team really wants.
What’s your USP (unique selling point) as a company.
What’s your company vision statement.
What’s your company mission statement.
What’s your company purpose.
A game plan for how to achieve this.
Pro tips:
Make sure you define some actionable points at the end of the workshop. This will guide the following steps and hold people accountable.
If your brand's core values need to change, allow them to. The same goes for strategy, goals, and vision.
Schedule a follow-up session, ensure teams are aligned and create a company mission statement that everyone can consult and return to.
What should a company vision board include?
The company vision board should include the answer to these five questions: Where are we? Who are we? What do we do? Why do we do it? How will we do it?. These questions are fundamental to make team members understand the reason behind their work and get their buy-in. Involving everyone in the discussion also helps to connect them directly with their goals and align their mission with the company’s mission.
How do you structure a vision workshop?
The company vision workshop has three main acts: the prep work, the intro, when you get people acclimated to Miro tools and functions, and when you explain what you’ll be doing in the workshop and workshop steps, then the workshop itself, crafting step-by-step your company’s vision board.

Opportunity Canvas Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Decision Making, Strategic Planning
Features and capabilities — they make or break a product, which is why companies spend so much time and effort focusing on them. Sound like you? Try it with an Opportunity Canvas. This streamlined one-pager gives you and your team the power to improve your product by exploring the use cases, potential setbacks, strategies, challenges, and metrics. An Opportunity Canvas is ideal if you’ve already built a product, because you don’t need to consider the operational or revenue model.
Meet the Team Template
Works best for:
Documentation, Org Charts, Team Meetings
A Meet the Team page is the best way to introduce each member of the team or organizational leaders. It includes profile pictures and bios with their work experience, achievements, and social media links. The Meet the Team Template helps you design a page that genuinely reflects your team.
Business Organizational Chart Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Org Charts, Operations
Establishing hierarchy in a business can empower employees—to know their roles and responsibilities, team members, potential cross-functional collaborators, and who to turn to with a specific need. That’s just what a Business Organizational Chart does. And this template makes it simple to build a BOC for your company. The first step is to determine the high-level organizational structure of your company. Then it's easy to create a visual representation of how different employees are interconnected.
Corrective Action Plan Template
Works best for:
Project Management, Operations, Strategic Planning
For a manager or HR leader, it’s the least fun part of the job: Documenting an employee’s performance issues and talking about them directly to that employee. A corrective action plan makes that tough task a little easier by putting issues into a professional, written framework. That way the process, next steps, and details of the conversations are all clearly documented. This template will enable you to eliminate murky communication, align on expectations, and provide step-by-step instructions for your employee.
Risk Matrix Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Decision Making, Strategic Planning
A risk matrix--also known as a probability matrix, risk assessment matrix, or impact matrix--is a tool that allows you to evaluate overall risk by visualizing potential risks in a diagram. The tool allows you to weigh the severity of a potential risk against the probability that the risk might occur. Risk matrices are useful for risk management because they visually represent the risks involved in a decision. This empowers you to avoid worst-case scenarios by preparing contingencies or mitigation plans.
Project Planning Template
Works best for:
Project Management, Project Planning
A project plan is a single source of truth that helps teams visualize and reach project milestones. Project plans are most useful when you outline the project’s “what” and “why” to anyone who needs to give you project buy-in. Use a project plan to proactively discuss team needs; expectations; and baselines for timeline, budget, and scope. The plan will also help you clarify available resources before you kick off a project, as well as expected deliverables at the end of the project.
