Rethinking Change

In this episode, Host Johannes Schartau talks with Sylvia Taylor, a
pioneer in bringing Liberating Structures to Europe and a leading
voice in organizational change. Sylvia shares her journey from
experiencing thirteen moves before age five to becoming an expert
in adaptability intelligence and the Flux Mindset. Sylvia
challenges the traditional approach of designing better change
plans and focusing on managing resistance. Instead, she argues that
everyone's new job is learning, yet companies still resist
investing in building people's capacity to adapt. The most
successful changes happen when teams develop stronger adaptability
muscles before the change hits. She introduces the Flux Mindset,
which reframes our relationship to change as opportunity rather
than chaos, and Adaptability Intelligence (AQ), a measurement
framework that helps organizations understand and strengthen their
capacity for change.
