THE CAPACITY SERIES 2026  |  ELEMENT OF CHANGE

Three Conversations On Building Internal Capacity When The Budget Won't Grow.

CFOs are cutting external spend. CHROs and CLOs are being asked to build leadership capability internally with the team they already have. Three live sessions, three angles, one playbook.

The Pressure Every Leader Is Feeling Right Now

Walk into almost any executive team meeting this quarter and you will hear the same thing. Cut external spending. Free up cash for AI. Strengthen the balance sheet. And while you are at it, build more capability inside the organization.

That mandate creates a real and urgent gap. The team you have is not always the team prepared to absorb the work the consultants used to do. The L&D budget is shrinking just as the L&D ask is expanding. And the leaders being asked to build capacity often have not had capacity built in them first.

This is the conversation Element of Change has been having across healthcare, retail, and nonprofit organizations all year. The Capacity Series 2026 brings three of those conversations into the open.

Capacity Over Consultants: The CLO's New Operating Reality Problem Statement

Thursday, October 8, 2026  |  2:00 – 2:45 PM ET

Problem Statement

CFOs are cutting external L&D spend. CLOs are being told to build internally. The gap between what gets cut and what the team can actually absorb is widening fast. Three Chief Learning Officers come together to talk openly about what they are saying yes to, what they are saying no to, and how they are using AI to extend their team's reach.

What you walk away with:

  • The 90-day playbook for absorbing work that used to be outsourced
  • How CLOs are using AI to multiply internal L&D capacity
  • The CFO conversation that actually works: language, data, framing
  • Where the boundaries are, and what to push back on

When the CEO Has 30 Years to Pass On: A Board's Knowledge Transfer Playbook

Thursday, November 12, 2026  |  2:00 – 2:45 PM ET

Problem Statement

Most CEO succession conversations focus on the outgoing executive. Almost none capture the board's perspective on what gets lost and how to prevent that loss. Two to three Board Members of a long-tenure CEO transition join Lisa Rigoli to share what they are doing now to preserve institutional knowledge, and what they wish they had started earlier.

What you walk away with:

  • What boards owe to organizations during long-tenure CEO transitions
  • How to identify what knowledge actually walks out the door (vs. what feels critical but isn't)
  • Board governance shifts that matter during a strategic handoff
  • Practical models for capturing tacit knowledge before transition day
