DESIGNIntroduction
The 21st
century business world is bursting with opportunities.
But also with new rules, risks, and challenges. Whatever questions
need to be tackled, Korn Ferry believes only one answer can be
counted on to deliver results: Talent.
It starts with leadership. To stay at the forefront of a world defined
by ambiguity and change, business leaders will need to inspire
and nurture their talent like never before. They will also need a
workforce at every level of the organization capable of adapting
to strategies that can shift overnight.
So the answers provided by Korn Ferry are more relevant and
more vital than ever before. Since our inception, clients have
trusted us to help recruit world-class talent. Today, we are also the
single source for leadership and talent consulting services, with
the tools, research, and insight to design, build, and attract talent.
What do we mean when we say design, build, attract?
• When we design, we are crafting a unique talent strategy
that will fuel our client’s business strategy.
• When we build, we are creating cultures of innovation,
organizational agility and high performance.
• When we attract, we are fulfilling our legacy and activating
the organization’s through the recruitment of top external
talent across all levels.

strategies. Korn Ferry can deliver all this and more through a consistent
methodology, IP framework, and global team of experts.

TalentStrategyandOrganizationalAlignment
Context:
• Seven out of ten major transformations fail to achieve their
stated goals and deliver planned benefits
• In more than 50% of cases, M&A destroys shareholder value,
while in 33% of cases, value does not change
• Organizations that are highly effective at integrating
performance management and learning and development
(L&D) are three times as likely to have strong employee results
What we do:
Our talent strategy and organizational alignment work is focused
on four areas:
1. Creating a talent strategy. We help organizations create a
talent strategy aligned with their business strategy to accelerate
outcomes. As part of this process, we refine talent priorities,
sequence them, and set realistic execution expectations.
2. Defining the leadership competencies needed to realize the
business strategy. We help our clients define and implement
competencies and “success profiles” they need to win in the
market.
“Organizations are better positioned to achieve their business
strategies when they consider three transformation pillars:
people, cultural, and structural impacts of major changes.”
(Korn Ferry 2012)
Activating business strategy
through talent strategy.
DESIGN

3. Aligning talent processes. We help organizations link their talent
processes (e.g., talent acquisition, development, succession) with
their strategy and with one another.
4. Enhancing the HR function. We help organizations understand the
performance of their HR function, and then design and implement
improvement actions. These could include organization redesign,
training, functional competencies, change management, team building,
and individual assessment and development.
Methods: Data collection and analysis using workshops, as well as
proprietary surveys, models, and tools.

create new value for the organization
How our solution helps:

potential new hires?

choice?

brands?
