Use the following filters to navigate the Vision tool effectively:

  • Team dropdown
  • Share Vision toggle
  • Leadership toggle
  • Archive

Team dropdown

Like several of our other tools, the Vision tool is first sorted by team. Click the Team dropdown to select which team's Vision and goals you'd like to view, edit, or create.

Your company's leadership team can determine which parts of the organization's Vision are cascaded and viewable to other teams.

 
 

Share Vision toggle

Leadership team members have the Share Vision with All Teams toggle available. When enabled, all other teams in Ninety can click the View Leadership Vision toggle on to view the leadership team/company's Vision and Goals instead of their team's.

Alternatively, the leadership team can choose individual sections to share or hide. Here's how:

  1. Click Edit Layout.
  2. Click Manage Sections.
  3. Click the closed-eye icon () to hide a section and keep it private to the leadership team.
  4. Click the open-eye icon () to change a private section to public. 
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click Save and Exit.
 
 

Leadership toggle

When viewing a non-leadership team, users can click Share Vision with All Teams to view the leadership team's Vision. This toggle is not visible if the leadership team has disabled the Share Vision with All Teams toggle.

 
 

Archive

Click the Archive button () to archive a copy of your team's Vision or view an archived version.

 
 

 

Ninety's Default Vision Pages

The Vision tool begins with four pages:

  1. Vision
  2. Goals

  4. SWOT

Companies on a free plan can only use the Vision and Goals pages to begin documenting their team or company's Vision.
