The Mercer AI Agility Framework 

Mercer’s AI Agility Framework offers a structured lens to assess how ready individuals are to work effectively in generative AI environments. It focuses on how people understand, adapt to, and apply AI in their day-to-day work. Developed through rigorous psychometric research and validated across international psychometric communities, the framework integrates key behavioral attributes, cognitive capabilities, and AI-specific skills that support responsible AI adoption.
