Cross-skilling equips existing teams with the knowledge to flex across domains — strengthening agility, collaboration, and capacity instead of relying on new hires or siloed expertise. By broadening capabilities across related skill sets, agencies can move faster, solve problems more holistically, and build a workforce that's ready for whatever comes next.
While roughly two-thirds of organizations say their skills gaps have improved since last year, and 95% of executives say building a culture of learning around data and technology is a priority at their organization, the vast majority of IT and business professionals say it’s not enough.
To help chart the way forward when change is the only constant, we’ve gathered insights from Pluralsight’s community of 2,500+ expert authors and combined them with insights from 1,500 tech executives, IT practitioners, and business professionals to uncover the top tech trends, tools, and skills you need to know to get ahead in 2026.
We surveyed 200 operational leaders of enterprise-size businesses worldwide, to learn about their objectives, challenges, and barriers to digital transformation across three business functions:
- Employee experience
- Buildings and facilities
- Asset management
Their answers on integration, data analytics, and AI pointed to a clear finding: integration is key to harnessing the power of data analytics, which in turn is key to harnessing embedded AI. The result? A chain of value, which when unlocked, can enable businesses to make smarter decisions and utilize AI to its full potential – significantly reducing costs and driving increased productivity.
