What is Learning Agility Assessment?
Built on Lombardo & Eichinger's (2000) five-dimension model — Mental, People, Change and Results Agility, plus Self-Awareness — this assessment measures the capacity to learn from experience and apply it to new, unfamiliar situations, the specific construct Korn Ferry's viaEDGE and similar commercial tools were built to license.
What it measures
- Mental Agility
- People Agility
- Change Agility
- Results Agility
- Self-Awareness

| Best suited to | High-potential identification programmes, graduate and early-career talent pipelines, and future-leader succession planning where readiness for unfamiliar challenges matters more than current-role performance. |
What does Learning Agility Assessment include?
- 40-item Likert survey scoring five distinct agility dimensions
- Mental, People, Change and Results Agility, plus Self-Awareness as a cross-cutting fifth dimension
- Overall Learning Agility score with High-Potential (HiPo) banding
- Profile type classification identifying dominant and developing dimensions
- Development priorities report targeting the specific dimension most limiting future readiness
Why does it matter?
Technical competence and past performance predict current-role success but poorly predict readiness for bigger, unfamiliar roles. Lombardo & Eichinger's (2000) research at the Center for Creative Leadership identified learning agility as a key indicator of executive potential, because it measures how well someone learns from new, first-time, tough experiences rather than what they already know.

Frequently asked questions
Isn't past performance the best predictor of future potential?
Lombardo & Eichinger's (2000) research specifically found the opposite for roles requiring significantly different skills — past performance predicts success in similar future roles well, but learning agility is the stronger predictor when the next role is meaningfully different from the current one, which is exactly the situation most high-potential promotions involve.
How is this different from Korn Ferry's viaEDGE?
Both are built on the same underlying five-dimension agility construct originated by Lombardo & Eichinger (2000) at the Center for Creative Leadership. This assessment applies the same open research foundation without the per-seat commercial licensing cost.
