Global Change Readiness Webinar 2026

Most companies have weathered significant change before - a restructure, a leadership shift, a new system rollout. So why do so many still get caught off guard by how disruptive it turns out to be?

Insights partnered with Opinium to survey 880 senior HR and people leaders 880 HR leaders across 11 markets about how their organisations anticipate, prepare for, and recover from major change. What we found challenges a common assumption: experience alone doesn't make leaders better at forecasting disruption. And close to half of the leaders who shifted into more negative behaviour under pressure had no idea they'd changed at all.

Catch up on a conversation between researchers and practitioners unpacking what the data reveals — and what it means for how you prepare your own leaders for whatever comes next.
