    At the Centre for Strategic Communication Excellence, we believe data drives decisions. That’s why we’re supporting Gallagher’s global State of the Sector 2026 survey—the global benchmark for internal comms and employee experience.

    This year’s theme, “The Readiness Gap,” explores how organisations can close the distance between where they are and where they need to be.

    We’re asking:

    • Are communication teams equipped to lead change?
    • Is AI helping or hindering?
    • How aligned is communication with HR and leadership?

    Complete the survey before October 24 to access your personalised dashboard and get early access to the full report.

    Your insights will shape the trends that define our industry in 2026.
