Latest Research on Learning Agility

Building Learning Agile Leaders and Organizations

The Age of Agility: Building Learning Agile Leaders and Organizations focuses on learning agility, one of the most important trends in the business world during the past decade. Surveys have found that learning agility is the most frequently used criterion to measure leadership potential. Yet despite this popularity there is a need to more systematically examine the construct. This volume brings together more than 50 authors with backgrounds in both academic research and talent management practice to address crucial questions such as: What specifically is learning agility? How many facets or dimensions does it have? How do we measure it? And how can it be developed in leaders and organizations? This book enhances our knowledge of learning agility, distilling and synthesizing scientific evidence with best practices and examining the construct through both practical and scientific lenses.

“Each chapter in this incredible collection of essays is a masterpiece replete with theories and ideas, research and evidence, and numerous tools and action items. Each chapter couples academic rigor with real world relevance.”

– Dr. David Ulrich

The TALENTx7 assessment offers powerful insights to High Potential individuals though its user-friendly representation of their learning agility data in simple dial formats. This helps individuals to quickly recognize their strengths and potential derailers in relation to their career aspirations. As their coach, the assessment provides me with an easily accessible language and tools to explore with them the two or three facets which will be most important for them to “dial up or dial down” to enable them to realize their potential and step up as leaders. An essential tool for those organizations serious about supporting the growth of their talent and understanding the strength of their leadership talent pools.

The TALENTx7 is the “Gold Standard” of learning agility. The assessment is comprehensive, multi-dimensional, and inclusive. It does not narrowly focus on only one facet or outcome of learning agility, such as growth mindset, which is a narrow and simplistic view of learning agility. The seven facets are defined in terms of the extent to which individuals display behaviors, which are observable by others and reflected in one’s reputation. Furthermore, the results are positioned on a dashboard continuum for clients, not on a bi-polar scale with an absolute number. This enables our clients to see where they currently are with their level of learning agility, and where they might want to further develop.

The TALENTx7 has become an integral part of our overall assessment strategy. It adds critical insights as part of our talent review process, leadership development, and employee coaching. The behavioral focus of TALENTx7 provides employees with a way to focus on behaviors they can develop that are aligned to their own career aspirations. We have used the TALENTx7 as one of the primary assessment tools in a cohort based senior leadership development program for several years. Using a pre- and post-program measurement format allows the cohort members to see where they have grown or still need continued development.
