SUMMARY:AI Activity isn’t AI Productivity: 3 difference-makers executives should implement now for results in 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join peer executives at our Next Big Thing Executive Forum for a candid conversation about AI deployments that deliver on promised results and those that not only fail on ROI but actually decrease morale and productivity. \nWhen: Thursday\, April 9 @ 11:00 am ETWhere: Live via Zoom \nThe Reality: BCG’s research found that 95% of organizations are busy\, spending money\, and not seeing results in AI adoption. (BCG\, The Widening AI Value Gap\, September 2025) \nWhy It Matters: Without the right foundation\, AI amplifies overwhelm. People feel busier\, not more productive\, and adoption stalls. Investing in the technology is the easy part. Closing the gap between AI activity and AI productivity is the leadership work most organizations haven’t done yet. \nBottom Line: Real results without the usual resistance happen when leaders build the conditions for them. \nDuring this forum\, you’ll join peer executives to discuss: \n\n\nWhy AI fluency (not AI tools) is the actual differentiator\, and what it means for how you lead\, model\, and set expectations at every level of your organization \n\n\nThe most common places AI implementations break down\, where overwhelm overtakes adoption\, and what change-capable leadership looks like in practice \n\n\nHow to build an organization that can keep adapting without burning out your people or losing their trust in the process \n\n\nThis forum is for you if your AI investments are generating more activity than results\, your people are overwhelmed\, or you’re not sure your leadership team has given the organization what it needs to actually succeed with AI\, not just deploy it. \nThe Value Is Being in the Room \nThe 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 transformation. We charge no fee to participate and make no sales pitch at the event. To honor our “off-the-record” commitment\, we do not make recordings available.

SUMMARY:[Executive Forum] Q1 Fractures Equal Q4 Failures: Why Your Executive Team Alignment Can't Wait Until Mid-Year
DESCRIPTION:Join peer executives in our Next Big Thing Executive Forum for an honest conversation about what happens when your leadership team isn’t on the same page (or working in opposition to one another)\, and why waiting to fix it costs more than you think. \nWhen: Thusday\, March 19 @ 11:00 am ETWhere: Live via Zoom \nThe Reality: Only 27% of leaders believe their employees are aligned with organizational goals. When you ask employees\, just 9% agree. That gap — reported in Axios HQ’s 2025 State of Internal Communication Report — is a leadership alignment problem. And it starts at the top. \nMeanwhile\, Harvard Business Review published two separate articles in January 2026 on the persistence of strategic misalignment. One\, from an Oxford professor\, argued that most leaders overlook alignment entirely because they assume it’s already there. The other showed how strategies that look coherent in the boardroom routinely fail at the next level down. \nWhy It Matters: Research across 410 companies found that highly aligned organizations grow revenue 58% faster than their misaligned peers. Here’s the Q1 urgency: the fractures happening in your executive team right now (like unspoken disagreements\, competing priorities\, and decisions that keep getting relitigated) don’t stay contained. They cascade. By the time you notice the damage in Q3 or Q4 results\, you’ve already lost months of momentum\, good people\, and strategic advantage. \nBottom Line: The longer you wait\, the more expensive it gets. \nDuring this forum you’ll join peer Executives to discuss: \n\n\nWhy executive teams that “seem” aligned are often the most at risk — and the specific warning signs you’re probably overlooking right now \n\n\nWhat’s actually driving the gap between your leadership team’s perception of alignment and the reality showing up in your results \n\n\nPractical\, proven approaches to closing alignment gaps before Q1 fractures become Q4 failures \n\n\nThis forum is for you if decisions are constantly being revisited\, your team spends more time in meetings rehashing priorities than making progress\, or you sense that people publicly agree but privately pursue different agendas. It’s also for you if you know alignment is off but aren’t sure where to start — especially if you want to get it right in the next 60-90 days. \nThe Value Is Being in the Room \nThe 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 transformation. We charge no fee to participate and make no sales pitch at the event. To honor our “off-the-record” commitment\, we do not make recordings available.

SUMMARY:[Executive Forum] Trends Among Trends 2026 is Here: Learn What’s Really Driving Change This Year and How to Make It Work For\, and Not Against You
DESCRIPTION:Every major publication\, and many minor ones\, for every industry and field\, publishes trends in January. If you’ve wondered how anyone can possibly keep up with even the most relevant ones\, let alone make time for trends outside one’s industry or field\, then this Forum is for you. \nWe’re back with our most popular topic of the past several years! We’ve done the heavy lifting with a meta-analysis to discover the trends among the trends\, the patterns that transcend industries and fields\, and the forces driving the opportunities and risks for 2026. \nWith AI adoption accelerating\, middle management collapsing\, and strategic alignment at historic lows\, understanding these patterns NOW is how you position your organization ahead of disruption rather than react to it. \nVirtual Executive ForumTrends Among Trends 2026February 10th | 11:00 am-12:00 pm ET via Zoom \nJoin fellow executives to discuss insights and ideas for what these trends among trends mean for your organization this year. \nThe Next Big Thing Executive Forum is a monthly series that 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 transformation. There’s no fee to participate and no sales pitch at the event. To honor our “off-the-record” commitment\, recordings are not made available. The real value is being “in the room.”

SUMMARY:[Executive Briefing and Open House] Organizational Change Capacity: The Make-or-Break for Achieving 2026 Goals
DESCRIPTION: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.   \nVirtual Open House\nJanuary 20th | 11:00-11:45 am ET via Zoom  \nOrganizations 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.   \nHere’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:   \n\n88% 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.  \n\n\nMiddle 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.  \n\n\nOnly 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.  \n\n\n100% 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.  \n\n\nNonprofit 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.  \n\n  \nYou 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.   \nJoin our Open House and we’ll show you…  \n\nThe change capacity gaps most leaders overlook.  \n\n\nHighlights from yet-to-be-published research we conducted in 2025\, including the state of middle managers and common mistakes in nonprofit mergers. \n\n\nHow we help organizations build the change capacity that makes AI adoption\, or any major initiative implementation\, go smoothly\, delivering 68%-300% ROI.  \n\n\nA 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. \n\nIf 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.   \nIf 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.

SUMMARY:[Executive Forum] How Funders Can Adapt 2026 Grantee Capacity Building Plans to Meet Shifting Needs
DESCRIPTION:The Reality: The ground beneath your grantees has fundamentally shifted this year. Nonprofits and funders agree that an increasing share of social impact is at risk from unexpected events. \nWhy It Matters: Every dollar and resource provided counts more than ever\, and you need to feel confident that what you provide will make a difference for the organizations\, causes\, and people you support. \nWhat nonprofits need from funders today is different from what they needed 18 months ago. And if your capacity-building plans aren’t focused on organizational resilience\, then the gap between what you’re providing and what your grantees actually need will grow in 2026. \nThe Challenge: If you’re designing 2026 learning communities or capacity-building initiatives the same way you have for the past few years\, you’re solving for yesterday’s problems. How do you adapt your plans to meet the needs of now? \nJoin peer foundation leaders to explore: \n\n\nLessons from T. Rowe Price Foundation’s Leading Through Change: The Board’s Role cohort – what worked\, what surprised them\, and what they’re applying to 2026 planning; \n\n\nWhat nonprofit leaders are looking for from funders now that’s different from 18 months ago (from a CEO/board chair living it); \n\n\nPractical ideas for adapting your 2026 capacity-building and grantee learning community plans. \n\n\nThis forum is for you if you’re finalizing 2026 plans and wondering how to invest time\, energy\, and dollars wisely and effectively. \nSpecial guests: \n\n\nSabrina Thornton\, Creativity & Innovation Program Officer\, T. Rowe Price Foundation \n\n\nJennifer Bell-Ellwanger\, President & CEO\, Data Quality Campaign; Board Chair\, Maryland Reads

SUMMARY:BoardCQ™ Change Readiness Assessment for Nonprofit Boards Live Demo and Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Is your nonprofit board a booster\, a blocker\, or at best\, neutral in times of change? With the social sector in upheaval this year\, the answer to this question will determine the future of your organization.   \nThe nonprofits still on solid footing heading into 2026 will be there because they have change-ready\, change-capable\, and change-resilient boards.   \nThe boards that will help their organizations navigate tomorrow’s uncertainty have one critical advantage: they know exactly where they stand on change readiness and what gaps they need to close to lead through the rapid change ahead.  \nMost don’t.  \nThis Webinar and Demo is for you if you are:  \n\nA program officer or foundation leader watching grantees struggle and seeking better ways to help protect their mission and your investment \n\n\nA membership organization whose members are facing layoffs\, funding cuts\, leadership transitions and more\, and you want to be part of their solution \n\n\nA nonprofit executive whose board needs to move from crisis management to strategic response to become your steady partner in navigating change \n\n\nA nonprofit board chair or member wondering if you’re doing enough (or enough of the right things) to support staff and find a viable path forward \n\n  \nBoard CQ™ Demo and Deep Dive Wednesday\, October 22nd | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm ET via Zoom  \nWhat You’ll See:  \n\nDemo of BoardCQ™\, our proprietary change readiness index for nonprofit boards\, measuring your board across the eight characteristics that separate organizations that adapt easily from those that don’t \n\n\nReal examples of how boards use their results to build the governance muscle needed for uncertain times \n\n\nWhat change-ready boards do differently when facing leadership transitions\, funding challenges\, and strategic pivots \n\nThe Reality: Crisis management has become a daily routine. The cost of waiting to assess your board’s readiness is too high when every decision matters more than ever.  \nWhy Now: The gap between optimism about the nonprofit sector’s future and confidence in boards’ ability to lead us there is widening. Board CQ ™ gives you objective data about where your board stands and clear steps to close that gap.  \nRegister Here\nThe best time to measure change readiness was yesterday. The second-best time is now.

SUMMARY:2026...Here We Come! What Smart Executives Are Doing Differently
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe’ll cover: \n\n\nHow 2025’s meta trends are playing out in your organization and what they mean for 2026 \n\n\nThe antidote to the BANI (Brittle\, Anxious\, Nonlinear\, and Incomprehensible) world we’re sharing with our clients now to help them prepare for 2026 \n\n\nThe alternative annual planning approaches savvy executives turn to when nonlinear causality has broken traditional models \n\n\nWhether 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. \nWhen: September 23rd @ 11:00 am ETWhere: Live via Zoom \nThe 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. \nWhy 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. \nThe Value Is Being in the Room \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Annual Performance Review Anxiety: What smart executives do in August to prepare their managers for these uncomfortable year-end conversations
DESCRIPTION:Join peer executives in our Next Big Thing Executive Forum to learn what makes a difference to boost the ROI on your annual performance reviews. \nWe’ll talk about: \n\n\nThe common mistakes most organizations make in preparing managers for performance conversations \n\n\nWhat high-performing organizations do differently in August to avoid year-end anxiety \n\n\nThe hidden costs of traditional performance reviews \n\n\nThe four psychological barriers that undermine even well-intentioned efforts to change performance review processes \n\n\nWhether you’re an executive tired of the annual performance review time suck\, an HR leader scrambling to find last-minute “difficult conversation” training\, or a senior manager who knows reviews can be valuable when done right\, this conversation is for you. \nWhen: August 21 @ 11:00 am ETWhere: Live via Zoom \nYour managers are getting that familiar knot in their stomach already. Performance review season is coming\, and they know it’s going to be uncomfortable\, even if they have a team of high performers. \nThis forum brings together executives\, HR leaders\, and senior managers for a candid exploration of what works\, what doesn’t\, and what you can do differently before the year-end anxiety hits. \nThe Value Is Being in the Room \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:What Funders and Nonprofits Really Need to Know About Mergers and Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:Join peer executives in our Next Big Thing Executive Forum to explore the realities of nonprofit consolidation: \n\n\nWhen mergers actually strengthen mission impact (and when they don’t) \n\n\nWhat funders and nonprofit leaders wish they’d known before encouraging or pursuing consolidation \n\n\nThe hidden costs and unexpected benefits that don’t show up in due diligence \n\n\nWhether you view nonprofit mergers as long overdue (“there are too many nonprofits”)\, a risky trend with serious pitfalls\, or something you didn’t even know was possible\, this conversation is for you. \nWhen: July 22 @ 11:00 am ETWhere: Live via Zoom \nThe Reality: Funding cuts\, economic uncertainty\, and shifting political dynamics are pushing more social sector leaders to consider strategic alliances\, mergers\, or acquisitions as possible paths forward. \nWhy It Matters: The pressure to consolidate is real\, but the track record is mixed. Some mergers create stronger\, more sustainable organizations. Others destroy what made each organization valuable in the first place. \nBottom Line: Whether you’re a funder considering which organizations to nudge toward consolidation\, a board member weighing strategic options\, or a nonprofit executive exploring possible partners\, you need honest insights from peers who’ve been there. \nThis forum brings together funders\, board members\, and nonprofit executives for a candid exploration of what works\, what doesn’t\, and what questions you should be asking before anyone signs anything. \n\nThe Value Is Being in the Room \nThe 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 transformation. We charge no fee to participate and make no sales pitch at the event. To honor our “off-the-record” commitment\, we do not make recordings available.

SUMMARY:[Executive Forum] The People Side of Successful AI Adoption
DESCRIPTION:Join peer executives in our Next Big Thing Executive Forum to address the human side of AI adoption: \n\nStrategies that shift team perception from worry to opportunity\nWhat most often goes wrong with AI integration initiatives (and how to prevent it)\nThe true cost of waiting or failing in the effort to incorporate AI into your organization\n\n\nWhether you’re actively implementing AI\, planning for future integration\, or questioning all the AI hype\, you’ll gain valuable insights from other leaders navigating these same challenges. \nWhen: Thursday\, May 22 @ 11:00 am ETWhere: Live via Zoom \nThe Reality: According to Pew Research\, 80% of American workers aren’t using AI tools at work\, and only 6% believe AI will create more job opportunities for them long-term. At the same time\, Conference Board data shows 100% of CEOs will have an AI strategy in 2025. \nWhy It Matters: “The biggest piece of advice I have when it comes to anything related to AI – is that it’s change management. This is behavioral change. That is not about the technology\,” says Microsoft’s Deb Cupp. \nBottom Line: The future belongs to organizations that can bridge the gap between AI’s productivity promise and human adoption concerns. Will yours be among them? \nThe Value Is Being in the Room \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Implementing Change in High Stakes-High Stress Environments: What executives need to know to get results without revolt.
DESCRIPTION:Every leader has a mandate for change this year\, from major reinventions and growth goals to small improvements or minor process fixes. And while change can be difficult in any workplace\, it’s especially hard when the stakes are or feel higher – we make a mistake and really\, really bad things happen – or when the culture is intense and high-pressure with high expectations. In this context\, even small behavior changes or a new\, seemingly innocuous policy change\, can put employees into fight\, flight or freeze mode. Join peers for a virtual conversation on getting the results you need while avoiding unnecessary risk.

SUMMARY:Developing Talent for an Unpredictable Future: What executives can do to boost the ROI from their training programs in 2024.
DESCRIPTION:While we can’t predict the future\, we do know that the pace and volume of change will only increase. Middle managers hold the key to unlocking human potential at work and\, specifically\, to revitalizing\, reenergizing and reimagining their teams. For every dollar organizations spend on technology (think\, AI…)\, they need to invest an additional $9 in talent development (identifying people with the right skills; developing the right skills; enabling proper change-management processes; and creating the conditions for people to live up to their potential). How do you ensure that type of investment will yield the desired results? \nOur last Forum of 2023 is a success showcase featuring Shadae Hospedales\, HR Director-Business Partner for Baltimore City Mayor’s Office of Employment Development\, and Stacy Reyan\, Chief People Officer for the economic consulting firm\, Bates White. They’ll describe the ROI they’ve achieved on their manager training programs and share the lessons\, structure\, format and techniques that contributed to their results.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Costs of Annual Performance Reviews (& The 3 Biggest Risks of Initiatives to Change Them)
DESCRIPTION:210 hours (nearly 5 weeks!). That’s how much time\, on average\, each manager spends each year on annual performance reviews. Employees each spend about 40 hours a year. All that\, and only 5% of managers and 10% of HR leaders find the annual appraisals effective. Those are the (shocking) obvious costs. What about the costs we don’t see? Over the past 10 years\, big companies\, including Deloitte\, Accenture\, Adobe and Microsoft\, have done away with traditional performance reviews. But most employers – large\, small and in-between – maintain the practice. Join  fellow executives (including some who’ve experimented with performance management options) on Wednesday\, October 25th at 11:00am ET for an off-the-record\, virtual conversation about what the status quo is currently costing your organization\, the pros and cons of different approaches\, and the risks to pay attention to when you implement any change to the process.

SUMMARY:Waiting to Exhale: What executives can do in the next 30 days to safeguard your own emotional well-being and create a well-balanced 2023 for yourself and your team.
DESCRIPTION:The trauma and impact of last 2+ years isn’t over yet. As a result\, we haven’t even begun to heal. Many executives fear that they don’t know how to lead in this new environment (even if they were excellent leaders before). And while we’re all paying closer attention to employee mental health these days\, the emotional well-being of executives is still often overlooked. In fact\, a recent Deloitte study shows around 70% of high-level executives are seriously considering quitting their jobs\, largely due to help with their emotional well-being. Megan McCamey\, founding president of goBeyondProfit\, jump starts our conversation with findings from the 2022 Business Generosity Report: A Road Map for Resilience.

SUMMARY:From Blockers to Backers: What executives can do in the next 30 days to get your mid-level managers engaged\, aligned\, and taking action on your most important priorities for Q4 (& beyond).
DESCRIPTION:Mid-level managers and supervisors are the bridge between senior leaders’ vision and those frontline employees who make it real. When they’re unclear on the “why”\, disengaged\, not aligned with the vision\, goals and plans\, or lacking the skills and tools to fulfill their role effectively\, consequences ripple across the organization. This session is for you if you’re about to launch a big new initiative or plan\, your team is falling short of its 2022 goals\, you’ve got a bunch of newly-hired or newly-promoted managers still adjusting to their roles\, or your managers are rockin’ it and you want to maintain that momentum as we head into 2023.

SUMMARY:Sudden Windfall Shock: What executives can do in the next 30 days to position your organization for catalytic investment and avoid paralysis\, conflict and missed opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED) Chief of Staff\, MacKenzie Garvin\, will share lessons MOED learned as a recipient of American Rescue Plan funds last year. Unexpected\, significant resources\, whether Mackenzie Scott donations\, venture capital investment\, a big new client or government grants\, can be a shock that sends leaders scrambling or a stimulus that allows organizations to soar. We’ve identified what makes the difference. This discussion is for you if your organization aims to be the beneficiary of a sudden windfall\, is already reeling from an influx of resources multiple times larger than last year’s entire budget\, or if you’re ready to think bigger\, bolder and more creatively than ever before about radical solutions to problems impacting millions of people and end those problems\, for good.
