Success is no longer about keeping pace\u2014it is about continuously advancing capabilities, practices and performance. That is why we declared 2026 the Year of Progression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Shortly thereafter, we introduced the AI Progression Model, providing organizations with a practical framework for assessing their current state and charting a path toward more effective and responsible AI adoption. The response was immediate, reinforcing what we were hearing from HR and business leaders around the world: organizations need clear, research-based guidance for moving from aspiration to action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Today, we are expanding that vision with seven new Progression Models covering the core disciplines that define HR excellence: Learning &amp; Development, Leadership Development, Talent Management, Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, Rewards &amp; Recognition, and Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">More importantly, each Progression Model is supported by a Research Summary, Playbook and Workbook designed to help organizations not only understand their current level of maturity, but also take meaningful steps toward the next stage of development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Research Summaries distill the key findings and recommendations into concise, accessible overviews. The Playbooks translate those insights into strategic guidance. The Workbooks provide practical tools, exercises and templates that support implementation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Together, these resources give Brandon Hall Group\u2122 Institute clients a structured path from assessment to action\u2014helping leaders turn research and insight into measurable progress.<\/p>\n<p>All seven Progression Models and supporting resources are available now through the Brandon Hall Group\u2122\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/institute.brandonhall.com\/\">Institute<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Research Summaries<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/institute.brandonhall.com\/research\/learning-development-progression-model-for-empowering-hr-excellence-research-summary\/\">Learning &amp;
