Learning velocity is how quickly a team turns a new demand into something its people can actually do.

Not how much you train. How fast change becomes capability. When the tools, the rules, or the market move, velocity is the lag between “this is different now” and “we can handle this now.” It is the metric that actually matters when everything keeps changing, and almost nobody measures it.
