This document outlines an experimental design to measure learning agility. It describes using a Professional Learning Indicator test to measure intelligence before, during, and after a workshop. Participants' perceptions of the workshop atmosphere and their self-perception would also be measured. The results would be analyzed to identify agile learners and factors that foster learning agility, like a supportive culture that allows being wrong and learning from experience.

1. Learning agility
the magic multiplier
„An organization's ability to learn, and
translate that learning into action rapidly, is
the ultimate competitive advantage.”
Jack Welch

3. Experimental design
• Tools
• Time line
• Workshop design
• Illustration

4. Experimental design
• Tool to be used:
– Professional learning indicator PLI (intelligence
test, measuring three layers of intelligence
1. Abstract
2. Verbal
3. Numerical
- Perception measurement: after participating into
this worksop, coworkers were expressing their
perception on the atmosphere they perceived
during the workshop

5. Timeline and workshop design
• Measurements:
A) Before workshop (1 week)
B) Beginning of the workshop
C) End of workshop
D) After the workshop(1 week)
• Workshop design: all PLI dimesnions are
trained/ explained during a 30’ in the classrom
session

6. Understanding results
First PLI raw score (B)
Last PLI raw score (C)
Maximum PLI raw score
Positive learning potential
(C - B)
First PLI raw score (B)
Last PLI raw score (C)
Minimum PLI raw score
Negative learning
potential (C - B)

7. The learning agility general index can be combined with:
- Performance evaluation
- personal values self-assessment tool
- Predictive Index extraverstion (interpersonal warmth, gregariousness, agreability)
Identified agile learners ;)

8. • “Learning from experience requires one to be
wrong (at least) part of the time. A punitive
culture inhibits individuals’ motivation for
learning. In contrast, a culture that is
supportive, entrepreneurial and nurturing
fosters learning and learning agility.”
Kenneth P. De Meuse et al., published in Consulting Psychology
Journal

9. Fostering factors for learning agility
• Perceived atmosphere during the
workshop
• Self-perception of the participants
