The report is here! The State of Communication Readiness in 2026 provides the clearest picture yet of how prepared communication teams are for the AI era.
The findings, gathered from numerous workshops, readiness assessments, and advisory work from the past year, point to a widening gap between what organizations expect and what teams feel equipped to deliver.
The data is sharp: urgency and value are high, but confidence and capability are not keeping pace.
This report explains why and offers a new system for leaders to close the gap.
If you find something useful inside, I’d love to hear what stands out.
