How do we think success will be measured in 2026?
Growth, social and cultural impact, resilience and (keeping everything crossed) a long legacy of #NationalYearOfReading
And what skills should we aim to have in our teams to achieve this success?
Prompt engineering while also knowing when not to remove the human element from AI
It’s a chance to remind audiences that it’s not just about content, but also about impact, accessibility and reaffirming the role of trusted and curated content
How do we effectively collaborate in 2026?
- Sharing practical insights
- supporting professional development and leadership training
- acting as collective voice on issues that matter
Collaboration is not optional anymore. We can’t solve all the issues we’re facing alone
Having the right people who will step up when needed and who will share their knowledge and know how to pivot and adapt to change, will make all the difference
Creating a culture of safety and trust will be essential for future proofing teams in 2026, as well as invest in upskilling in digital, tech and cybersecurity
