It became clear that proper assessment, identification and development of High Potentials (HiPo’s) is key to best-in-class leadership development and succession planning.

This ensures a healthy leadership pipeline for your organization and business continuity.
So, what is Learning Agility?
Learning Agility is defined as the willingness and ability to learn from experience, and subsequently apply that learning to perform successfully under new and first-time conditions.

If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain.
If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees.
If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.
(Ancient Chinese Proverb)
High Potentials are High Learners. They are active learners.
Highly learning agile individuals learn the right lessons from experience and apply those learnings to new situations. Learning Agility is an important element of potential. Our research indicates that those individuals with greater Learning Agility are significantly more successful after they are promoted than others.
A prominent model of Learning Agility (developed by Korn Ferry) consists of the following Five Factors:-
1. Self-Awareness 2. Mental Agility 3. People Agility 4. Change Agility 5. Results Agility.
Each factor consists of five to six dimensions.
