In today’s post recessionary world, retention of key talent is increasingly challenging. Recent research suggests the percentage of high potentials planning to leave their positions in the next year has doubled to between 19% and 25%, from 10% in 2006.

Learning agility is the single best predictor of high potential. So, how can you best identify the most learning agile in your organization?

Korn/Ferry powered by LOMINGER leads the industry in learning agility research. Now, viaEDGE™ complements the Korn/Ferry learning agility product suite with the latest, most comprehensive, and accurate self-assessment on the market.

viaEDGE offers talent management leaders a strategic tool to:

  • Assess internal talent for placement of high potentials
  • Evaluate external talent for roles where learning agility is critical
  • Identify managers most likely to succeed in international assignments

Five dimensions of learning agility
Like other Korn/Ferry learning agility assessments (Choices Architect® and Learning From Experience™), viaEDGE provides scores on four learning agility dimensions:

  • Mental agility
  • People agility
  • Change agility
  • Results agility

Beyond these, viaEDGE also measures a fifth dimension—self-awareness, recently identified as the #1 predictor of executive success.

Scalable to large organizations with little administrative burden, viaEDGE is highly accurate with verification scales to control for over/under rating. Use viaEDGE to identify your organization’s talent on the outermost edge of leadership potential.
