The Discussion
We’re focusing on the questions that don’t have easy answers yet. These are the recurring friction points surfacing in private conversations with leaders who are actively building, not just buying.
The Format
We’re bringing together 20 people who are actually dealing with this transformation right now, not theorizing about it.
