From fast-tracking findability to the intranet and Microsoft Viva – DWG’s 2022 Research Programme is here!
The votes are counted and the research briefs are already being written – it’s that time of year when we decide and announce the topics that DWG will cover in its latest annual Research Programme. You can see all the details in the new fact sheet for the programme.
DWG’s Deputy CEO, Nancy Goebel, says: “With the pandemic elevating the digital workplace to the essential workplace, DWG’s 2022 research programme will help the world’s leading practitioners fast-track efforts to build resilience for both the unexpected and the expected.”
DWG members tell us that they use our research to help shape strategy, grow team knowledge, validate thinking and ideas, prepare for new projects, and gain credibility internally. In fact, 82% of members say that access to research and case studies is one of the best things about their membership.
In 2022, we’ll explore the following topics in depth, extending our ongoing research streams around areas such as: content, findability and collaboration – as well as delving into Microsoft Viva, getting food for thought on the inclusivity of the digital workplace, and more!

We’ll also be exploring the relationships between the intranet and Microsoft Viva and Teams which is a hot topic for our members right now.
