ROI Talk: The 2026 Comms Outlook – Leveraging AI, Engagement, and the Employee Experience

Between constant change and the rise of AI, the role of internal communication was being redefined in real time. It was no wonder we were often asked, “What trends are you seeing in this critical space?”

Attendees joined a panel of senior ROI strategists — including Sheryl Lewis, ROI President, and Melanie Barna, Linda Pederson, and Liz Taff — as we reflected on 2025 and looked ahead to 2026, while sharing key insights from our client work in AI and communication, employee engagement, and the digital employee experience.

During this extended 45-minute panel discussion, participants heard practical insights, including:

  • 2025 Retrospective: What successful leaders did to navigate the shift to AI, combat disengagement, and optimize their communication channel mix
  • 2026 Forecast: Strategies for tackling the biggest internal communication challenges on the horizon
  • Future-Proof Your Strategy: How to strengthen internal communication approaches while building a 2026 playbook
