Advancing I&B Maturity: Critical Competencies for 2026 & Beyond - Impact & Belonging Exchange
Impact & Belonging leaders are navigating a rapidly shifting landscape. As regulatory pressures evolve, AI accelerates change, and stakeholder scrutiny intensifies, organizations are placing greater emphasis on strategic, integrated competency approaches that can scale and endure.
For many organizations, the priority is assessing impact and belonging maturity and alignment to business priorities. You’ll have the opportunity to benchmark your approach across peers, clarify the competencies that distinguish resilient, business-integrated models from compliance-driven efforts, and leave with practical actions to apply in your maturity roadmap.
Together, we’ll explore:
- Updates to DE&I Maturity Model to assess your organization’s progress
- The competencies that define future-ready impact and belonging leaders including strategic business integration, data and analytics fluency, systems thinking, stakeholder influence, and ethical AI readiness
- How these competencies show up at different maturity stages, and what it takes to build capability beyond program activity
- Practical ways peers are strengthening core competencies across their impact and belonging teams, tools, talent profiles, and development approaches that scale
- How advanced competency models enable impact and belonging to be embedded into core business processes rather than operating as stand-alone work
Join us for this candid, peer-driven Exchange facilitated by Member Leads Kalisha Holland (BNSF Railway), Jorge De La Jara (Trane Technologies), and Eugene Smith II (Citi), with additional member spotlights sharing what’s working in practice.
