Consulting Engagements Grow 30% in 2026
Change Institutes International records a 30% increase in consulting engagements between January and August 2026, compared with the same period in 2025.
The growth has been driven by increasing demand from startups investing in leadership and Strategic Communication capabilities, Leadership Team and mid-career professionals strengthening executive presence, and schools seeking structured teacher-communication interventions.
More organisations are moving beyond traditional training to seek practical, behaviour-change focused interventions that help people communicate with greater clarity, build confidence, strengthen leadership presence, understand diversity,and perform more effectively in high-stakes situations.
For Change Institutes International, this growth reflects a broader shift in how organisations are approaching capability building — with greater emphasis on empowering employees and driving business value with application, behavioural change and measurable impact.
Figures are based on internal engagement data for Change Institutes International, January–August 2026.
