[Executive Briefing and Open House] Organizational Change Capacity: The Make-or-Break for Achieving 2026 Goals

January 20 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

If you’re leading any change in your organization in 2026, such as AI rollout, re-organization, strategy shifts, resource re-allocation, or leadership succession, or operating in an uncertain environment that brings change to your front door (whether you’re ready or not), then this open house is for you.  

Virtual Open House
January 20th | 11:00-11:45 am ET via Zoom 

Organizations with strong change capacity meet or exceed objectives 88-93% of the time. Those without? 13-15%.  Boost your change capacity in 2026 by partnering with CSR.  

Here’s just a sample of what’s sure to create more uncertainty, disruption, and change for you and your organization in the next 12 months:  

  • 88% of companies are now using AI, but 94% are stuck in pilots. Half the employees fear AI will eliminate their jobs, so they’re either resisting it or hiding their usage from the boss.  
  • Middle managers, the people essential for successful change initiative implementation, are burning out (or being laid off) at alarming rates. Those remaining have little training or professional development, especially in change management, leaving more on the plate of senior leadership and threatening productivity across the organization.  
  • Only 27% of leaders think their teams are aligned. What’s worse? Only 9% of employees do, resulting in missed goals, unclear or competing priorities, overwhelm, and turnover.  
  • 100% of CEOs will have an AI strategy in 2026. Meanwhile, only 6% of employees believe it’ll benefit them long-term. This means resistance, pushback, and AI implementation initiatives that go off the rails right from the start, undermining any potential ROI.  
  • Nonprofit CEO turnover is at record highs, yet only 27% of nonprofits have succession plans, and your board might not be equipped to ensure a smooth transition.  

 

You can avoid unnecessary costs, get your middle managers functioning at their best (to keep things off your plate), realize the ROI on your AI and other change initiatives, and achieve your 2026 goals.  

Join our Open House and we’ll show you… 

  • The change capacity gaps most leaders overlook.  
  • Highlights from yet-to-be-published research we conducted in 2025, including the state of middle managers and common mistakes in nonprofit mergers. 
  • How we help organizations build the change capacity that makes AI adoption, or any major initiative implementation, go smoothly, delivering 68%-300% ROI.  
  • A demo of BoardCQ™, our change readiness assessment for nonprofit boards, that offers valuable insight and actionable recommendations to prepare for leadership transitions, AI, mergers, and other changes facing the social sector next year. 

If you have an immediate need, this Open House is a no-stakes way to vet us and see if we should be at the top of your call list.  

If you’re not in the market right now for what we offer, then now is the best time to learn about us so that you have a ready-to-go resource in your pocket when you do need it.
