Culture in transition: Holding purpose steady through change

“We need to take our skepticism and judgment and turn it into curiosity — and then test it.”

— Theresita Richard

Fortune editorial director Kristen Stoller moderated a conversation with people leaders from Patagonia, Blackstone, and Salesforce on how to change the how without losing the why. The panel covered values as competitive advantage, building trust through AI transformation, and why the opposite of fear isn't safety — it's agency.
