What role will AI play in business processes by 2026?
AI is expected to be a significant catalyst for change in 2026, with autonomous AIs managing complex tasks across various business functions. For instance, in finance, AI could handle invoicing and transaction reconciliation, while in HR, it might streamline onboarding and training processes. This shift will enable companies to scale more effectively and allow human workers to focus on more strategic and creative tasks.
How will cybersecurity evolve in 2026?
With cyber attacks becoming more frequent and sophisticated, businesses will need to adopt a proactive cybersecurity strategy. This includes building robust defenses and fostering a security-aware culture throughout the organization. Companies must not only defend against attacks but also develop resilience to maintain operations even after an incident occurs.
What is the significance of the skills gap in 2026?
Closing the skills gap will be essential for businesses in 2026, as organizations that successfully reskill their workforce can achieve significant benefits. For example, companies like Ikea have reported generating substantial new revenue by upskilling employees to work with AI. This trend highlights the importance of investing in employee development to enhance productivity and drive business growth.
