ERG Strategy 2026: Do ERGs even matter anymore?

Most ERGs never move beyond being a social club. Here's why — and exactly what to do about it.

If your ERG is mostly organising events and building community, you're not alone — but you may be stuck on the very first rung of ERG maturity. And that's the number one reason ERGs get defunded, lose executive support, and ultimately fail to make a lasting impact.

In this video, I walk through the ERG maturity model and explain why getting stuck in community-building mode is so common — and so dangerous. More importantly, I share how ERG leaders can protect their internal reputation, work more strategically with their Sponsors, and demonstrate genuine business value through policy and process change and product or service innovation.

This is the ERG strategy conversation most people aren't having in 2026 — and it could completely change the trajectory of your network.

Perfect for ERG leaders, BRG leads, HR professionals, and DEI champions who want to level up their impact and be taken seriously at the leadership table.
