Social Forecast 2026. What Will Actually Break. And What to Do Now.

January is when assumptions harden.This session is designed to challenge them. Most social forecasts are too broad to be useful. They list trends, avoid judgment, and leave leaders reassured instead of prepared. This live January webinar does the opposite.

In 60 minutes, we will make a clear, evidence-backed call on the 2–3 social pressures most likely to collide by 2026, and explain why decisions made in 2025 will determine whether systems bend or break.

This is not a trend tour. It is a decision-relevant forecast for leaders responsible for policy, programs, and public systems.

You will see how economic strain, trust erosion, and rapid technological disruption are already reinforcing each other. You will also see where early signals are being missed, where exposure is highest, and what fails first if assumptions remain unchanged.


Who this is for:

Senior leaders and decision-makers in social sector organizations, municipalities, provinces, and federal policy roles. Particularly relevant for housing, health, workforce, public safety, education, and community services.

What you will leave with:

• A sharper view of 2026 risks. From abstract to imminent.
• Clear judgment on what matters most, not everything that exists.
• One signal to monitor in the next six months.
• One 2025 decision to revisit.
• One assumption to stop using immediately.

This session will not offer long trend lists, generic futures language, or false certainty.
You should leave able to say:“I see 2026 differently, and I know what I need to re-check this year.”
