<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During a recent client meeting where we were brought in to develop a communication strategy for their brand we asked what seemed like a straightforward question: \u201cIs the communication strategy we’re building actually aligned with your business strategy?\u201d The room went quiet. No clear answer.That silence sent us back to square one, rebuilding the foundation of a communication strategy that truly serves the business, not just the brand.<\/p>\n

In our consulting work, we consistently see organisations jump straight into the middle: messaging, channels, campaigns before they’ve answered the questions that matter most. What is the organisation trying to achieve? What change is it driving? Which business decisions should communication be supporting?\u00a0When those answers are missing, communication strategy and business strategy end up coherent on paper but built on air.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, I came across Deloitte’s Corporate Affairs 2026 report, \u201cThe Road to 2030\u201d<\/a>, and it confirmed that this isn’t just a regional challenge. Corporate Affairs as a function is at a genuine inflection point. The report found that 83% of Corporate Affairs functions are experiencing significant change, and 66% are redesigning their operating models.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Restructuring org charts or adopting new tools isn’t enough to drive real change. What’s needed is bringing the communications expert in from day one, not after the decisions have already been made.\u00a0Too often, the communication team is called in at the end: draft the statement, choose the channels, manage the coverage. By that point, the most critical work is already done, and communication has been reduced to execution without context or strategic intent.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategic communication starts much earlier. It starts when the communications expert is in the room to pressure-test a decision before it’s finalised: How will employees interpret this? How will clients react? What reputational risks emerge once this moves from the boardroom to the public domain?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A communications expert shouldn’t just explain a decision after the fact, they should help shape it before it’s made.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why We Refuse to Be Reduced to an Execution Role<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the most common patterns we see in our consulting work is this: an engagement starts with a strategic brief, then gradually drifts into a list of deliverables \u2014 press releases, media interviews, social posts, events, campaigns.\u00a0Execution matters. But execution alone doesn’t make a strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Saba Consulting, we’re deliberate about not letting our role collapse into fulfilling requests without understanding their purpose. This isn’t about undervaluing execution \u2014 it’s about recognising that excellent execution of an unclear idea won’t solve the underlying problem and won’t deliver the results the client is actually looking for.<\/p>\n

A consultant’s job isn’t just to ask: what do you want us to publish? It’s to ask: why do you want to publish it? Who needs to be moved by it? What behaviour or perception are you trying to shift? And how does this serve the organisation’s broader goals? Those are the questions that separate a communications vendor from a strategic partner.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most defining shift the report identifies is the rising demand for business acumen and strategic thinking \u2014 alongside storytelling. Strong writing and solid media relationships are no longer enough to earn a seat at the decision-making table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And here’s the uncomfortable truth: how many communications directors actually speak the language of business? How many are brought in after the decision is made, asked to shape the message, not the thinking behind it?<\/p>\n

If we don’t speak the language of the conversations taking place at the table, we can’t claim a seat at that table. But this responsibility is not just for communications professionals. It extends to the organisations that choose who to work with. A company that seeks a communications advisor who understands market dynamics, performance indicators, and investment decisions will get fundamentally different results from one that simply needs someone to write press releases and manage social accounts.<\/p>\n

At Saba Consulting, we built our team with this in mind. Our practice brings together communications expertise and genuine business depth, including specialists with backgrounds in finance and corporate affairs, who understand how numbers are read and how financial decisions translate into messages that build stakeholder trust. Because communication that truly moves the needle isn’t just well-written \u2014 it’s grounded in a deep understanding of the environment the organisation operates in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AI Won’t Fix a Strategy Problem<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Deloitte’s report puts a striking number on the table: 95% of Corporate Affairs leaders identify AI capability development as a priority \u2014 yet only 24% have a formal AI strategy in place. More telling, the report describes most teams as still in an “exploratory phase\" \u2014 informal experimentation and proof-of-concept pilots driven by individual motivation rather than functional strategy. The words “experimenting\" and “playing\" appeared repeatedly in leader interviews. That gap between awareness and action is familiar territory in our market.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But the report goes further than most conversations about AI do. It frames AI across three dimensions that CA functions must contend with simultaneously: AI as a new reality reshaping the information environment, blurring the line between truth and perception in what leaders describe as a “post-reality\" world where synthetic media and AI-generated narratives are now an everyday condition. AI as risk and governance \u2014 introducing a new class of reputational and ethical challenges that extend well beyond cybersecurity, into how organisations are seen to use AI publicly and how trust is maintained as machines play a larger role in communication. And AI as a way of working, not just a set of tools, but a structural rewiring of workflows, team effort, and what constitutes high-value work.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By 2030, the report envisions AI sitting at the core of every Corporate Affairs function \u2014 an AI & data hub powering everything around it, from integrated communication to stakeholder value and public affairs. Some organisations may see this reflected in an entirely new role: a Chief Corporate Affairs & AI Officer \u2014 where human expertise is elevated to strategic oversight and ethical governance, not day-to-day execution.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The model is clear on one thing: AI amplifies the function \u2014 it does not replace the judgment behind it. The value that remains hardest to replace is brand integrity, emotional resonance with stakeholders, and what the report calls leadership in a ‘post-truth’ era including misinformation defense.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

The team that uses AI only to produce content faster will eventually be replaced by it. The team that uses it to anticipate risk, read context, and strengthen its advisory role, will be the one that remains indispensable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Media Coverage Is Not an Outcome<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Much of the communications industry still measures success by volume, how many articles, how many interviews, how many impressions. After almost every campaign, the first question is still: how much coverage did we get? These numbers have their place. But they’re not sufficient to judge whether communication actually worked. And this isn’t entirely the client’s fault. It’s largely a reflection of what our industry has trained them to expect. When our reports lead with reach and impressions, we’re telling clients that those metrics are the primary value we deliver.<\/p>\n

The report puts a number to this: 69% of Corporate Affairs functions still rely on traditional reputation metrics, while only 26% use economic indicators to measure impact.
The more meaningful questions are: Did our communication build trust? Did it support a business decision? Did it reduce reputational risk? Did it help create the conditions the organisation needs to grow? These outcomes take time \u2014 they compound across campaigns and build on each other. But they are the only measures that truly reflect the value of strategic communication.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Road to 2030 Starts Before the Message Is Written<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Deloitte’s report presents two possible futures for the Corporate Affairs function by 2030: evolve into a high-impact strategic advisory role or remain a communications service unit that can be easily substituted.
The difference between those two paths won’t be determined by the tools adopted or the campaigns executed. It comes down to one question: is the communications team asked to explain a decision after it’s made or invited into the room to help shape it?<\/p>\n

At Saba Consulting, we believe a communication strategy should never begin with: what are we going to say? It should begin with a harder, earlier question: what does the organisation need to achieve and how can communication help get it there?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s the question we brought into that client meeting. The silence that followed told us everything we needed to know and exactly where the real work begins.<\/p>\n
