Learnability In The Human Age
Professional success is determined both by an individual's ability to adapt to change and their willingness to learn.
How Learnability Is Impacting the World of Work
As technological innovation accelerates the pace of change, there is growing awareness that individuals who seek learning opportunities will be better positioned for career growth. Today, professional success is determined both by an individual's ability to adapt to change and their willingness to own the progression of their career.
"More than 90% of employers expect their organization to be impacted by digitization in the next two years." The Skills Revolution, ManpowerGroup, 2017
The Learnability Quotient™ represents a new way for users to assess their learning types and receive recommendations for how to develop.
What is Learnability?
Why Learnability is Important
In dynamic markets, technology is creating change at an accelerated pace, causing a skills revolution. As a result, it's important for individuals to seek out continuous professional development in order to remain attractive to employers, and for companies to enable their workforce to learn new skills and to adapt to new processes and technologies. As curiosity has been shown to be a predictor of an individual's employability, learnability can also be an indicator of career mobility (as it indicates how agile an individual is).
“Employers need to recognize and reward learnability. They need to nurture it to avoid losing out or lacking critical skills on their workforce.” Millennial Careers: 2020 Vision, ManpowerGroup 2016
In partnership with Hogan X (the new analytics division of Hogan Assessments, the leading provider of personality assessments), ManpowerGroup has developed a web-based visual assessment to identify each individual's LQ (Learnability Quotient) - providing insight into their motivation and type of learning.
How Learnability Quotient Can Help
Benefits to the Individual:
- Enables you to understand what type of learner you are
- Provides resources to help you improve your learnability
Benefits to the Organization:
- Enables decision making around engagement
- Indicates employee learning types
- Gauges awareness and motivation around the need for self-development
With results expressed via three dimensions (Adventurous :: The intrinsic desire to explore; Intellectual :: Motivated to learn; and, Unconventional :: Questions the status quo), the Learnability Assessment empowers organizations and individuals to succeed.
