London-Meetup-1

Are you finding there's too much noise? Let's talk about it.

Information overload isn't a new problem. But it's getting harder to solve, and most organisations are still having the same conversations they were having two years ago.

This meetup is different. We're not fans of long slide decks or broadcast-style presentations. This is a small group of senior practitioners exploring what's actually happening across internal comms and the digital workplace, and what's actually helping.

SWOOP Analytics and Cocentric are hosting a facilitated meetup for up to 25 people. You'll help shape the discussion, vote on the topics that matter most, and hear both benchmarking insights and on-the-ground delivery experience from organisations tackling these challenges every day.

What we'll explore

  • What information overload actually looks like inside Microsoft 365 environments today - not just volume, but duplication, poor targeting, channel sprawl and unclear ownership
  • Why the issue rarely gets solved by content alone
  • The structural levers that reduce noise: audience segmentation, governance models, community architecture and leadership rhythm
  • Real examples of what changed when organisations brought SharePoint, Viva Engage and Viva Connections together more intentionally
  • What the data reveals about attention, engagement and the behaviour patterns that drive overload
  • What tends to stall - and what actually shifts behaviour

Here's how it works
You'll arrive, grab a coffee and meet the room. Then we open topic voting and shape the conversation together.

Two facilitated discussion sessions follow. SWOOP's benchmarking data and Cocentric's on-the-ground delivery experience are woven into the conversation, not presented at you.

We'll finish with open discussion and informal networking.
