Kelly Brogdon Geyer is a Chief Adaptability Officer based in Austria. She works with organizations to build continuous adaptive capability, addressing the structural debt that causes repeated transformation cycles, rather than treating each disruption as a separate change management program. Kelly originated the concept of structural debt in organizational systems and is the creator of the Adaptive Capability Ecosystem (ACE) and the Momentum TransforMate Ecosystem (MTE). Her Adaptive Capability Diagnostic evaluates organizational adaptability across six dimensions of adaptive maturity, distinct from change readiness assessments, and produces a strategic roadmap. She has been recognized as a Thinkers360 Top 10 Global Thought Leader in Transformation.
