Harmonious Workplaces Launches AdaptX

Chicago, IL, September 06, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Harmonious Workplaces, an organizational development and change leadership consulting firm, proudly announces the official launch of the AdaptX Framework for Organizational Design and Adaptability, developed by Dr. Casey DeBruyn and now exclusively offered through Harmonious Workplaces under a newly granted license agreement.

In a time of accelerated organizational change, organizations need motivated employees more than ever. AdaptX offers companies a clear, practical path to becoming more agile, aligned, and efficient without sacrificing the human element.

“So many businesses wrestle with the same questions,” said Rich Cruz, co-founder of Harmonious Workplaces. “How do we stay resilient? How do we get people aligned around shared goals? How do we make change suck less? AdaptX answers those questions with a proven structure that connects motivation, goals, and roles into a design that actually works.”

Unlike traditional org charts or one-size-fits-all restructuring plans, AdaptX™ helps leaders assess the real forces shaping performance and behavior. The framework incorporates principles from industrial-organizational psychology, goal-setting theory, and change management best practices, giving companies a toolset to: clarify decision-making authority and accountability, align team members with motivating goals, reduce resistance to change by designing with people in mind, and improve Return on Human Capital (ROHC) by eliminating waste and unleashing potential.

“Organizational structure isn’t just about boxes and lines. It’s about how decisions are made, how goals are pursued, and how people stay motivated during change,” said Dr. Casey DeBruyn, creator of the AdaptX Framework. “The companies that win will be those who design with adaptability baked in.”

AdaptX stands out for its balance of analytics and empathy, a core value of Harmonious Workplaces. By combining data on current workflows, team structure, and employee engagement with behavioral insights, the framework helps leadership teams, uncover hidden inefficiencies and talent gaps, create scalable, people-first structures, reduce turnover and increase engagement, and accelerate change adoption with clarity and buy-in.

“Change doesn’t have to create chaos,” added Cruz. “With the right design, it can unlock potential. And that’s what we help organizations do—with heart, with structure, and with evidence-based tools like AdaptX.”
