What if your transformation isn't failing because of the technology or the strategy — but because your people have simply run out of capacity to absorb any more change? New research from AlixPartners is pointing at a threat most roadmaps never account for, and the cost is showing up in your best people leaving quietly.

In Episode 4 of Idea Express, K.C. Barr breaks down why change fatigue — not technology — is now the primary killer of organizational transformation. Drawing from the 2026 AlixPartners Disruption Index, this episode walks through three practical steps leaders can take this week: running a real change load audit with your managers, naming the initiative that's straining people most before it names itself through attrition, and stress-testing your transformation roadmap against actual human bandwidth before the next launch. K.C.'s personal take cuts to the heart of it — most roadmaps are built on the assumption that organizational capacity is elastic, and almost nobody challenges that until it's too late.

What's the change initiative at your organization quietly straining the most people right now? Drop your take in the comments or connect with K.C. on LinkedIn.
