Koenraad

Claeys

Solution Success Architect

Koenraad is accountable for complex solution design across the Organization Strategy, Total Rewards and Sales Transformation portfolio in Korn Ferry, working with clients to develop the right solution to assure long term change and business impact.

Being passionate about Digital & Sales transformation and digital sustainability, he often speaks on public events.

His main driver is to understand the key processes, competencies and stakeholders of these clients in order to deliver the right solution to their business issues that work.

Koenraad’s expertise comes from managing execution teams and having been involved in the implementation of many projects of reward information, job analysis and design, organization analysis and design and support. This expertise marries the ‘what works’ with ‘what can be done’.

Specific industry knowledge goes broad over Consumer (Luxury Goods, CPG, Omnichannel), Industrial (Renewable Energy, Aerospace and Defence) to Technology (Digital transformation and Talent decoding).

Where internal HR or PMO resources are few or reward capabilities are limited, this means actual delivery in expert mode: commentary on trends and issues and process recommendations through small work groups. 

In other cases, this could involve the orchestration of several Korn Ferry resources from the global network to advise on and support company’s local, regional or global initiatives.

But the preferred way of working remains the hybrid one; where in co-creation with the client and involving stakeholders, the best results get delivered.

Graduating as an accountant with a post graduation in marketing, Koenraad continuously kept himself up to date on digital, tax, international business development, business process improvement, organizational design, sales transformation, mergers & acquisitions and leadership development.

Integrating or populating the HRIS systems with KF’s IP to get the most value out of these yearly licenses is a specific competency Koenraad is called in for a lot.
