What Works research is built on a powerful, proprietary, technology-leveraged engine
that accelerates the easy but time-consuming tasks so experts can focus on hands-on analysis
and efficacy work that no one else can get to, at speed, scale, and quality.

And we do it when you want it - using a unique, crowdfunding-inspired approach.

The Model

Communities vote each year to develop a core slate of work they are interested in and see the most value out of.

We combine this with our unique point of view on emerging topics and areas that need in-depth investigation and applied tools to create a research slate like no other. When we hit critical mass, we launch immediately.

The Projects

Currently, What Works is focused on three major areas of research, described on our homepage:

  • Embracing Neurodiversity in EHS

  • Modernizing EHS Metrics & Measurement

  • SIF, HOP & Psychosocial Risk Intersections

The Engine

A proprietary research approach utilizing heavily customized technology and tools that “slingshot” the work into orbit.

We conduct literature reviews, develop analytical frameworks, and create research constructs in a matter of days, and spend the time saved on deep participatory research aimed at getting insights and solutions into your hands when you need it most…now.

The Outputs

What Works research contains all of the typical outputs you might expect (overviews, literature reviews, strategies and models for action) - but that’s simply the starting point.

Our true focus is on research to practice, with in-depth comparative analysis. When you enlist in a project, expect practical, actionable tools to begin arriving in the first quarter, not the first year.
