The Dimensions After an extensive review of literature on adult learning with special focus on learning in managerial roles, a list of factors was generated. The factors were defined by a panel of learning experts and the definitions were later shared with a range of managers from all economic sectors (government, non-profit, for-profit, and military) for comment and suggestion. From the expert panel to the pragmatic real-time manager, the elements of agility in learning led to prioritizing those that are to be core to the speed of translating experience into actions. These dimensions that enable agility are:
As each individual is a learner, the question remained if an individual is not learning agile, what factors are at play that creates a resistance to agility? The expert panel agreed that each agility dimension exists on a continuum, such that some behaviors created agility resistance. These are defined as follows:
