As 2025 draws to a close, Executive Advisor <b>TaChelle Lawson<\/b> issues her strongest warning yet: outrage has become a business model, and in 2026, it will intensify, organize, and punish on a larger scale. Lawson, <b>President of FIG Strategy &amp; Consulting<\/b> and author of <b><i>Black is NOT a Credential: The Corporate Scam of DEI<\/i><\/b> will publish <b>America&#8217;s Corporate Culture Forecast 2026<\/b> in late December 2025, and announces her new book, <b><i>Culture Crisis: Inside America&#8217;s Outrage Economy<\/i><\/b>, releasing February 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Lawson&#8217;s record is predictive. In 2020, while corporations rushed to issue DEI statements, she warned there would be an expiration date and consequences for performative action; she was right. In 2023, she predicted that a Republican administration would move to cut federal DEI programs and funding; she was right. In 2024, as companies retreated from public commitments, she forecasted backlash from both sides\u2014employees and consumers\u2014and she was right again. &#8220;If you&#8217;re a betting person,&#8221; Lawson says, &#8220;bet on me. When it comes to culture, outrage, and corporate risk, my record speaks for itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The <b>2026 Forecast<\/b> details where pressure will hit next and why standard corporate playbooks fail. Lawson highlights seven flashpoints enterprises must prepare for: symbolic statements that trigger external attacks; internal radicalization evolving from activism to insurrection; election-charged loyalty tests that drag brands into political trench warfare; boycott cycles that convert corporations into currency; the penalty of &#8220;no comment&#8221;; the fallout of DEI reversals (matched by equal risk in doubling down without strategy); and a new phase of accountability where executives are canceled <i>and <\/i>replaced. &#8220;The Outrage Economy is very real,&#8221; Lawson adds. &#8220;And in it, anyone can have power, not just the traditionally powerful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lawson has opened a limited number of private Forecast Briefings in Q4 for enterprise teams, corporate boards, and media.
