An opportunity to redefine work
|
We’re living through unprecedented change. Ten years ago, the Responsive.org Manifesto laid out that “the rate of change continues to accelerate” and “the future is increasingly hard to predict.” Today, those principles are more relevant than ever. I know of no better way to navigate uncertainty than to gather with other executives, founders, and builders to share ideas and learn from each other to design for this rapidly changing future. We have an incredible lineup of speakers at Responsive Conference 2025, including…
"Redefining Work" with Shelby Wolpa & Suzy Welch, PhDSuzy Welch, PhD is a renowned business leader and author of multiple bestsellers, including Winning (co-authored with her late husband, Jack Welch), and Becoming You, which she also teaches as a popular course at NYU Stern. Suzy is an advocate for clarity, courage, and values-driven decision-making, and her work has helped millions navigate both personal and professional crossroads. At Responsive Conference 2025, Suzy joins Shelby Wolpa for a fireside chat exploring career reinvention in the age of AI. Shelby Wolpa has spent 15+ years mastering people operations in high-growth tech companies like Palantir, Instacart, One Medical, and InVision. At InVision, she was the driving force behind their remote work strategies, leading an 800-person workforce spread across 30 countries and 40 U.S. states, all without a single office. This session is about personal reinvention, navigating uncertainty, and making bold decisions in an era shaped by AI and constant change. "The Leadership Diamond" at Amy’s KitchenIf you’ve ever picked up a frozen pizza at Whole Foods, there’s a good chance it came from Amy’s Kitchen. What began as a small, family-run operation in Petaluma, California has grown into a nationally recognized organic food brand with more than 2,700 employees and distribution across the U.S. As Vice President of Procurement, Tim Griffin has helped Amy’s Kitchen navigate global supply chain complexity, deepen its regenerative agriculture partnerships, and future-proof its procurement systems amid growing climate and market challenges. At Responsive Conference 2025, Tim will join Andrea Robb and Doug Kirkpatrick for a conversation about Peter Kostenbaum’s Leadership Diamond. They will explore what it takes to grow a business from a family-run shop into a global operation without losing the soul it started with.

Thanks for being a part of the Responsive Org community
Howdy folks - For the tenth anniversary of Responsive Conference, we’ve decided to do something different. The team has just attended Suzy Welch's Convening on Purpose and Flourishing in the Age of AI at NYU Stern, followed by an incredible week at Transform in Las Vegas. There’s a lot of conversation right now about job displacement and the changing nature of work. For a decade, we’ve said predictability is decreasing. This year, it feels like it’s gone. If you listen to AI nihilists, AGI is...
Hello, By now, you’ve seen the news coming out of Minneapolis – and elsewhere – about the use of force by ICE. It’s disturbing, unconstitutional, and not something we can just scroll by and ignore. The question becomes: What does it mean to act together? How do we participate, even when there are differences of opinion and no single clear path forward? Tomorrow, January 30, a 24-hour National Shutdown is taking place in the United States. The idea is simple: If you’re able to stay home from...
Hello there, It’s been a little while, and I’m glad to be back in touch. As we look ahead to Responsive Conference 2026, our focus is sharpening around a central question: The pace of change has become impossible to ignore. How is the job landscape changing – and what those changes mean for our work, our organizations, and ourselves? New tools are entering the workplace quickly and expectations are shifting fast. Roles feel increasingly less defined, and the path forward isn't clear....
