Drawing on insights from the 2025 Global Change Capability Survey and Melanie’s work with organizations around the world, this session examines where organizations are making progress, where challenges persist, and the key issues emerging throughout 2026.

Together, we’ll look beyond the findings to consider what they mean for change professionals today—and what may be coming next in 2027 and beyond.

This is more than a presentation of research. You’ll have opportunities to vote, share your perspective, debate the most pressing issues, and contribute to the conversation about the evolving state of change.

Our goal is to help you turn insight into foresight—strengthening your understanding of today’s change environment while preparing for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
