A leading financial services company needed to create a unified method for assessing and managing talent to ensure a full pipeline of future managers. Korn/Ferry developed a customized succession solution and piloted it for the top levels of management, subsequently rolling it out to the broader organization. The scientifically validated process for identifying each employee’s potential ensures the long-term success of the individual and client.

This high technology client engaged in a systematic process to create an integrated coaching program to ensure the achievement of strategic objectives. Korn/Ferry provided a comprehensive framework for the coaching process. Consequently, the business-results approach to coaching ensures the organization will continue to flourish as a leader in the technology sector. In 2009, this initiative was named by Chief Learning Officer magazine as the Gold Award Winner in the category of Leadership Development.

This global IT firm was growing rapidly; it needed to develop not only technical competencies, but soft skills of the client-facing organization to take the business to the next level. Korn/Ferry created a customized curriculum designed to develop skills at all phases of the business development process. As a result, the client transformed from being a “back room” IT service provider to an integrated and strategic professional services competitor, increasing profit through higher-value services.

This government intelligence client needed a centralized method of training employees to communicate between agencies, with goals of aligning the curriculum of online and mobile training courses with evolving open-source intelligence competencies and occupational requirements. Korn/Ferry validated all current needs assessments and created a matrix that enabled the easy tracking and updating of training requirements. Our framework has since allowed this client to take this process in-house, creating sustainable value.

This pharmaceutical client needed to elevate trust among senior leaders and increase the effectiveness of the governance model. Korn/Ferry conducted a three-day event that included a series of highly interactive sessions, team assessment, activities, and metaphorical learning. Consequently, markedly improved behavioral changes have been observed in the increased effectiveness of interaction between leadership team members.
