Real-world insights that help leaders move first — and move with confidence.

Strategic analysis on activist pressure, reputational risk, and emerging disruption

CORE Insights is the public intelligence and analysis hub from CORE Strategic, a strategic risk advisory helping organizations anticipate disruption driven by organized pressure, activist campaigns, reputational risk, and regulatory escalation.

Here we examine how pressure builds — across governance systems, narratives, institutions, and decision-making environments — and what leaders need to understand before pressure hardens into crisis. Our analysis draws from real-world campaigns, crisis response experience, and ongoing monitoring of activist and reputational risk trends across sectors.

CORE Insights is designed for executives, boards, and decision-makers who need early visibility into emerging risks — not after-action commentary.

Public excerpts and framing from CORE Strategic and The Activist Playbook™, outlining how modern activist campaigns are structured and how pressure is applied across systems.

Short, focused observations on emerging risks, pressure points, and moments where timing, context, and restraint matter as much as response.
