WHO WE ARE
The Adaptology™ Institute was founded to address the deficit in creative & agile thinking in the workforce, as identified by the World Economic Forum in the 2016 Future of Jobs Report.
Dr. Liz Goldenberg, the Founder and Chief Adaptologist, leads a diverse team of behavioral scientists, organizational psychologists, academic researchers, management consultants, and neuroscientists, with a diverse range of expertise, and based across the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Europe.
Together, we have developed several evidence-based programs to teach the 10 top skills individuals will need to survive in business in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
These programs can also be adapted to suit individual/organizational needs (see What we offer).
Dr. Liz Goldenberg is an expert in the field of Social and Organizational Behavior.
