What is it about?
Recently, the construct of learning agility has attracted considerable attention from human-resource professionals and consultants interested in talent identification. Organizations have then incorporated the construct into their model of high-potential selection and talent development. The current systematic review provides a rigorous critique of the existing literature about learning agility and its applications to talent management.

Why is it important?
Our results showed that despite the extensive usage of learning agility in organizations, a scientific approach to the construct remains still limited, and psychometric research also is imperative. TM research reinforced the importance of learning agility as a key indicator of potential, highlighting learning and growth competences as central components of potential.
Perspectives
I hope this study may contribute in shedding light on the individual behaviors and competences are needed to deal with change and unpredictability in the working environment. This research is beneficial also for organizations, providing suggestions on the most effective processes and interventions to be implemented to promote learning and growth of employees.
