Great question!
Imagine if we can recruit agile learners who take ownership of their learning, learn fast and effectively, and pick up cross-disciplinary skills easily, what happens? The competitive advantage to your team and organization gains will be enormous.
An organization or even a nation is as competitive as the collective skills it has!
How does Learning Agility Help?
At an individual level, learning agility helps us to:
Develop new skills and capabilities quickly
See the world anew and be able to think of new ideas
Have more career options and feel more empowered to do good work
At an organizational level, a learning workforce means:
High level of nimbleness in uncertain and rapidly changing situations
The ability to find new answers when previously proven strategies fail
The success rate of business transformation increases
At a country level, a learning nation leads to:
Skilled workforce to attract investments in growth areas
People making smoother transitions to new industries and jobs
Higher GDP and happiness index
Strategic workforce upskilling at the national and organizational level as well as learning agility at the individual level are keys to the success of the countries, organizations, and employees alike.
Now, if you believe learning agility is important, the next question is whether we can develop learning agility in ourselves and our people.
