Episode 147: 20/20 foresight: DWG’s practical guide to futuring

What is futuring and why is it an important practice for digital workplace leaders and teams? How does futuring differ from envisioning? And what practical approaches can you take to futuring in your organization?

‘Futuring’ practices are firmly in the spotlight in this episode of Digital Workplace Impact. Host Nancy Goebel is joined by Shimrit Janes, a DWG research author and lead consultant. Together, they talk about what can be learned from a recent research report published by DWG, ‘The road ahead: A practical guide to ‘futuring’.

The report offers practical guidance around understanding the distant horizons of the digital workplace. The discussion takes a look at the research findings, some frameworks and how these insights can be applied to the digital workplace. 

Insightfully, the research draws on learnings from the DWG Awards programme, which show that trailblazing teams actively invest in approaches for interpreting trends and signals from the world of work and beyond. The research also includes futuring examples from organizations such as Proctor & Gamble and the UK Government. 

So, join us now for a thoughtful conversation that considers how to build 20/20 foresight to help navigate and prepare for tomorrow’s digital workplace.
