Why organizations are increasingly optional in a volatile world
The economy is growing. The stock market is near record highs. Inflation is fairly low. So why do 49% of organization CEOs think their members will face a worse economy over the next year? That gap is the main finding of Association Laboratory's Looking Forward 2026 research. It comes from 124 top leaders at U.S. trade and professional organizations. The news says one thing. The people running these organizations say another. Here is what the data shows and what you can do about it.
Why we need to make room to wonder
Most teams are great at getting things done. We answer the email, hit the deadline, push the project across the finish line. That kind of drive feels productive, and it is. But somewhere in all that motion, something quieter gets squeezed out: the time to simply think. At AOE, we call that time "wonder." And we have come to believe it might be the most undervalued part of our work.
The house of governance: A framework for stronger associations
Most boards do not fail because of bad people, rather, they fail because of unclear design. When roles blur, when strategy gets filed away after the annual retreat and when committees outlive their purpose, even well-meaning leaders drift into the wrong work. A recent GrowthZone webinar introduced a practical way to diagnose these challenges: the house of governance. This concept reframes governance as a structure you can inspect, room by room, to determine whether it can truly support your goals.
