Use the following filters to navigate the V/TO® tool effectively:

  • Team dropdown
  • Share V/TO® toggle
  • Leadership toggle
  • Archive

Team dropdown

Like several of our other tools, the V/TO® 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 V/TO® are cascaded and viewable to other teams.

 
 

Share Vision toggle

Leadership team members have the Share V/TO® 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 V/TO® 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Click the Archive button () to archive a copy of your team's Vision or view an archived version.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 V/TO® Pages

The Vision tool begins with four pages:

  1. Vision
  2. Traction®
  3. SWOT

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

 

How goal sections work on the Traction® page

The 1-Year Plan, 3-Year Picture™, and 90-Day World sections on your team's Traction® page each share a single description field. Text entered in one section's description will appear across all three.

It is not currently possible to disconnect these sections or assign a unique description to each one independently.

That said, the goal values you enter in each section can be different. Each time horizon can have its own distinct goals, targets, and titles — only the shared description field carries over.

If your team needs to track distinct measurables per time horizon, consider using the Scorecard tool to document period-specific targets alongside your V/TO®. You can also add a custom section to your Traction® page (if your organization has Custom Vision enabled) to manually document separate notes or descriptions for each time horizon.
