“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

McKinsey & Company has released a 92-page report on The State of Organizations 2023, and identified 10 profound shifts that are transforming organizations.

One of the things we’ve noticed most for 2023 is a hesitancy among organizations to commit to new initiatives as world events and economic uncertainties hurl us farther along the twists and turns of this post-pandemic rollercoaster ride.

So we’re in listening mode right now, trying our best to match your greatest development needs with the latest wisdom from our thought leader partners. We’re also prepared with best-in-class custom and out-of-the-box experiential learning solutions, many of them award-winning, that we have seen work their magic across organizations.

Here is a list of the shifts (download the full report here):

3. Making way for AI
4. Navigating new laws of attraction, retention, attrition
5. Closing capability chasms
6. Walking the talent tightrope
7. Developing self-aware and inspiring leaders
