To Innovate We Must be Willing to Learn a Lot!

The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology defines learning agility as an individual's ability and willingness to learn from experience. In fields that require adaptation, such as technology and business, learning agility has a major impact on performance. Agile learners are willing to explore new challenges, observe situational cues, and assess the situation vigilantly. Companies can screen for agile learners or develop key skills and habits in their leaders. The potential to develop agility is boundless, and the implications for learning agility on innovation are profound.
