Innovation Sprint London 2026: Event Summary
On 17 September 2026, Strategic hosted its inaugural Innovation Sprint London, bringing together communication leaders, business leaders and industry specialists for a collaborative executive working session.
Under the theme “Owning the Agenda: From Messaging to Mandate,” participants addressed three critical challenges facing the communication profession: demonstrating communication value and business impact, strengthening organisational trust and addressing the say-do gap, and leading AI implementation with confidence and consistency.
Guided by our Discover – Design – Deliver methodology, and facilitated by Louise Thompson, table facilitators and mentors, participants explored underlying challenges, challenged assumptions and developed practical recommendations aimed at advancing communication leadership.
The Sprint was delivered in partnership with Everhaze, our AI Innovation Partner, and our Industry Leadership Partners: CIPR, ICCO, PRII, EACD and Markson Partners.
