The Power of Learning Agility:
Human Potential in an AI World
Disruption is the new normal. Automation and AI are reshaping the workforce, requiring mass redeployment to new roles and ways of working. Employees need to upskill and reskill to stay relevant and contribute in ways machines can't. Careers are also shifting from single-expertise "T" shapes to multi-skilled "M" shapes. But how can busy professionals learn quickly and consistently?
The future of work demands constant learning. New questions arise daily, and navigating this ever-changing landscape requires finding new answers. Past formulas don’t apply. Traditional procedures become outdated. Do our workforce have the ability to learn anew and iterate for solutions?
​
Organizations need the right talent and skills to thrive. Learning agility is key to learning productively for maximum return on learning investments. Before sending employees to training, are they prepared to absorb, assimilate, and apply their learning?
Whilst the future is uncertain, learning is the path forward. A uniquely human advantage, learning allows us to adapt, innovate, and find solutions. Learning agility ensures humans remain irreplaceable in the face of change.

Learning Agility in Organizations:
Upskill, Adapt and Grow
​
Leaders play a pivotal role in steering strategy success by cultivating a learning workforce poised to master future skills, drive innovation, and sharpen competitive advantage. By fostering a culture of learning agility, leaders empower employees to upskill and reskill swiftly to changing landscapes, encouraging continuous growth and innovation.
To achieve this, leaders must leverage proven individual, team, and organizational factors for learning agility. What are the motivation and attitude factors that drive lifelong learning? Do our people know how to accelerate learning? What is the most important workplace factor that keeps people learning and contributing to organizational success? What about the role of teams and managers in fostering learning?
​
In the future of work, we know we need to upskill and contribute in ways that robots or algorithms cannot. Learning is not attending training. Learning is also not consuming content on the phone. Learning is also not sustained by incentives. Leaders can make a pivotal difference by developing a learning culture and learning workforce.
