Brandon Hall Group™ Launches Study On the State of Skills Strategy in 2026
Skills strategy is everyone’s job and often no one’s job. This new study examines who actually owns skills strategy inside organizations, how HR and L&D collaborate on it in practice and why siloed skills efforts keep falling short of the enterprise-wide impact leaders expect. If you’re trying to figure out where skills strategy sits on your own org chart, this is worth a close read.

Research Brief on The Readiness Gap: Why Organizations Struggle to Sustain Change
Most organizations can launch a change initiative. Far fewer can sustain one. This research brief digs into transformation fatigue, a growing challenge as change programs stack on top of each other faster than employees and managers can absorb them, and outlines what separates organizations that sustain change from those that watch it fade.
