Join peer executives in our Next Big Thing Executive Forum to share key lessons from 2025 and explore alternatives to traditional strategic planning that will make or break 2026.

We’ll cover:

• How 2025’s meta trends are playing out in your organization and what they mean for 2026

• The antidote to the BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible) world we’re sharing with our clients now to help them prepare for 2026

• The alternative annual planning approaches savvy executives turn to when nonlinear causality has broken traditional models

Whether your 2025 goals got derailed by unexpected disruptions, you’re struggling to plan for 2026 amid constant uncertainty, or you need fresh approaches for leading when careful linear thinking is now a liability, this conversation will help you find new ways forward.

When: September 23rd @ 11:00 am ET
Where: Live via Zoom

The Reality: Many organizations spent 2025 trying to manage complexity with frameworks designed for a more predictable world. Strategic plans became obsolete before the ink dried. Traditional cause-and-effect thinking couldn’t keep up with nonlinear outcomes.

Why It Matters: The executives who adapted fastest this year changed how they plan. They built resilience instead of efficiency. They embraced rapid iteration over perfect analysis. They prepared for incomprehensibility. They demonstrated speed and discernment.

The Value Is Being in the Room

The Next Big Thing Executive Forum brings together small groups of C-Suite executives and senior leaders for off-the-record, peer-to-peer, idea exchange conversations. We cover topics essential to defining, designing, and successfully realizing your “next big thing,” whether it’s a new strategic initiative, internal policy shift, or significant organizational change. There’s no fee to participate and no sales pitch at the event.
