Human Risk Intelligence for high-stakes change

When integrations, transformations or restructurings fail, it’s rarely the strategy that breaks. It’s unmeasured human risk: the skills gaps in change resilience and connection that quietly erode value, stall integrations, and burn out your best people.

Built for: HR M&A advisory firms that need defensible human‑risk data for integration, and transformation leaders who must deliver AI‑era change with lean teams.

C2IQ is the Human Risk Intelligence platform that quantifies those risks in minutes, giving HR M&A advisors and transformation leaders the predictive people data they need to keep initiatives on time and on budget, reduce burnout, and lead change with confidence.

What’s at Stake Without Human Risk Intelligence?

You track financial risk. You track cyber risk. But are you tracking the human risk that kills change, engagement and results?

Change failure isn’t a process issue. It’s a people skills problem and it’s time for human risk management during transformation to evolve.

Across industries, 60–70% of major change initiatives still miss their goals. Traditional tools rarely tell you which teams lack the concrete skills to navigate disruptive change such as M&A integration or AI and technology adoption. That leaves even the most experienced advisory firms and transformation leaders flying blind just when investors, boards, and employees can least afford another failed change effort.

Human risk in the age of AI. AI is rewriting jobs, workflows, and expectations faster than most organizations can keep up. When teams are unclear on new roles, exhausted by constant tool changes, or skeptical that automation will help rather than replace them, even well‑funded AI initiatives stall or backfire.

C2IQ gives you the Human Risk Intelligence to de‑risk AI adoption by measuring the change resilience and connection skills that determine whether people will adopt new tools and sustain performance through ongoing disruption.

How C2IQ Helps

The missing layer in transformation: a real-time view into two critical, coachable skill domains: change resilience and human connection.

Traditional tools overlook the human change competence. C2IQ doesn’t. Our Human Risk Intelligence Platform pinpoints the skills gaps and behaviors that other systems miss, making your HR risk assessment smarter, faster, and more actionable

  • Change Resilience skills cover adaptability, stress response, and agility, the behaviors that determine whether people stay flexible and productive under sustained pressure.
  • Human Connection skills cover trust‑building, empathy, collaboration, and the everyday behaviors that create psychological safety and alignment in teams.

In about 8–10 minutes on any device, employees complete a science‑backed assessment to surface real‑world risk. C2IQ then turns those responses into organization, team, and role‑level risk heat maps plus individual reports and weekly coaching nudges.

C2IQ: Human Risk Intelligence so you can predict and reduce the human risk in M&A, AI adoption, and major transformations.

How Leaders Like You Use C2IQ

From human risk to team readiness in one platform.

HR M&A Advisors use C2IQ to differentiate their firms with a proprietary diagnostic that plugs into due diligence and post‑close integration.

Internal transformation leaders use C2IQ to see where change fatigue and burnout are emerging across functions, then target scarce resources where they’ll have the biggest impact.

How C2IQ works: simple 3‑step plan

  1. Map your human risk
    Define groups involved in your transformation and launch the validated assessment.
  2. See where change will crack
    Dashboards show strengths, risk zones, and heat maps filtered by role and custom segments.
  3. Act in the flow of work
    Individuals get confidential reports and weekly coaching nudges; leaders get targeted action plans.

What failure looks like without Human Risk Intelligence

Post‑merger integrations stall as cultures clash and key talent leaves. AI rollouts underperform because teams lack resilience to adopt new workflows. Over time, leaders hesitate to sponsor initiatives and turnover erodes institutional knowledge.

Spot change fatigue, misalignment and churn risk early. Understand where the drag is, who’s ready, and who’s not.
