# 2026 Risk Review: The Forecasts Were Right, So Why Were So Few Organizations Ready?

This review compares 2026 risk forecasts from Gartner, PwC, Deloitte and the WEF against what actually happened, finding a gap between prediction and preparedness, especially on agentic AI governance. It recommends testing response rather than documentation and turning next year's forecasts into scenarios rather than slides, reinforcing scenario stress-testing for boards.
