Applying Talent Intelligence Where It Matters

As organizations navigate evolving roles, persistent skills gaps, and rising expectations from employees, most already have plenty of data. What they’ve been missing is clarity. In our February release, we build on the Korn Ferry Talent Suite to help leaders move from activity to impact through clearer signals, stronger connections, and better visibility into what’s changing.

Welcome to a look at what’s new in this release of Korn Ferry Digital.

This release is about making progress more visible.
 Insights more connected.
 And talent decisions easier to act on.

Across the platform, we’re continuing to deliver a more unified view of talent.
 So leaders can understand not just what is happening in their workforce, but why it’s happening, and what to do next.

Here are a few highlights.

In Korn Ferry Sell, we’re applying AI where it adds real value for sellers and leaders.

New capabilities reduce manual effort by pulling insights from conversations, notes, emails, and other inputs.
 All grounded in Korn Ferry’s proven selling methodology.

The goal is not to automate selling.
 It’s to accelerate great selling.

Enhanced Win Probability insights help teams focus on the most impactful next steps.
 Improving consistency and efficiency.
 While preserving human judgment and dialogue.

Sellers spend less time synthesizing information.
 And more time engaging customers and driving results.

This release also takes an important step toward more connected talent insights.

By bringing together data from Korn Ferry Listen and Korn Ferry Assess, organizations gain a clearer view of how engagement connects to role fit and performance.

Leaders can see who is thriving.
 Why they’re thriving.
 And where targeted support will make the biggest difference.

These insights power more tailored development through micro-learnings.
 Helping organizations move from reactive decisions to proactive talent action.

In learning, this release addresses a common challenge.

Development is easy to launch.
 But hard to evaluate.

Expanded learning analytics move beyond completion rates.
 They show participation patterns.
 Engagement signals.
 And where momentum is building.

When learning connects directly to roles and capability gaps, development becomes more intentional.
 And investment becomes visible.

This release also expands Leadership and Professional Development content.
 With new learning paths for sales professionals and leaders.

Expert content.
 AI-enabled roleplays.
 Designed to build adaptive, resilient capabilities.

New EU pay transparency learning helps organizations prepare for real regulatory change.
 Keeping development practical and relevant.

Together, these updates help organizations move forward with greater clarity.
 Stronger insight.
 And more confidence in their talent decisions.

Thanks for taking a moment to explore what’s new in this release of Korn Ferry Digital.

Connecting Signals to Reveal What’s Really Happening

One of the biggest advantages of a unified platform is the ability to see relationships that were previously hidden. In this release, we’ve continued to deepen analytics across assessment, engagement, and succession so leaders can better understand not just what is happening in their workforce, but why.

For example, organizations can now see how assessed role fit aligns—or doesn’t—with employee engagement, highlighting where people may be well-matched to their roles yet disengaged, or highly engaged while facing growing misalignment as roles evolve. These disconnects can help leaders spot potential areas of risk before performance or retention challenges become harder to address. When assessment and listening data are connected, leaders gain earlier, more reliable signals and can act with greater confidence.

From Activity to Progress on Talent Gaps

We also hear a consistent frustration from leaders: development efforts are easy to launch, but hard to evaluate. Completion rates don’t tell you whether gaps are actually closing.

In this release, we’ve expanded learning analytics to help organizations shift from tracking activity to understanding progress for both learners and the organization. Leaders gain clearer visibility into how employees are engaging with development content, including participation and completion patterns, so they can evaluate what’s resonating, where momentum is building, and where additional focus may be needed. Over time, this visibility helps organizations better understand how learning efforts support broader development priorities and where additional interventions may be required.

When learning data connects directly to roles and capability gaps, development becomes intentional. Investment becomes visible. And progress becomes measurable.

Applying AI Where It Adds Real Value

AI has the potential to meaningfully improve how work gets done when it’s applied thoughtfully. In this release, we’ve expanded AI capabilities within Korn Ferry Sell with a clear focus on efficiency and consistency.

AI in Korn Ferry Sell is built to accelerate great selling, not automate it away. By seamlessly pulling insights from transcripts, notes, emails, and other AI outputs (and grounding them in Korn Ferry methodology) it reduces manual effort while maintaining the rigor behind sound sales decisions. Win Probability insights help highlight the most impactful next steps, freeing teams to focus on judgment, dialogue, and results. This is AI that removes friction, so expertise can do what it does best.

Adapting With You as Work Evolves

As work continues to change, talent systems must adapt without forcing organizations to start over. Our Built-on-Workday applications continue to evolve in this release, reflecting the flexibility that a truly connected platform enables.  Enhancements to the Profile Manager app streamline job profile creation, editing, and mapping directly within Workday, making it easier to maintain, enrich, and keep profiles aligned without moving across systems.

We’ve also expanded and refreshed Leadership & Professional Development content, including new EU pay transparency learning to help organizations prepare for real regulatory change. Staying ready requires more than content updates; it requires relevance, context, and connection to the roles and challenges leaders are managing today.

Looking Ahead

As Korn Ferry Talent Suite continues to evolve, our focus remains on productizing decades of talent science and data in ways leaders can use every day—at scale, in context, and with confidence. When talent intelligence lives on a unified system, grounded in performance science, leaders don’t just see more. They understand more. And that understanding is what drives better decisions, stronger teams, and meaningful progress.
