Many organizations blame hiring challenges on a shortage of skilled workers. But often the issue isn’t scarcity. It’s misalignment between the work that needs to get done and the roles designed to do it.

AI is reshaping work, but many organizations are still hiring into structures built for yesterday.

Join Korn Ferry experts to explore how CEOs and boards can treat work design as a strategic lever to close the gap between strategy, skills, and performance.

We’ll address challenges CEOs and boards are grappling with right now:

  • How to know when your structure is compromising your strategy
  • Why strategically critical roles remain unfilled—even when talent exists
  • Where AI should lift productivity and where human judgment must lead
  • How hiring, mobility, and pay strategy must align to translate talent into performance

What CEOs and boards should reset now to close capability gaps and sustain growth.
