Knowledge Blitz - KF4D - Part I: How Assessing Talent Drives Business Success from Korn Ferry on Vimeo.
GAP in talent is always a concern. Gap in Leadership talent is GRAVE CONCERN. Some of
the most well respected research on global organizations found talent shortages
to be a top concern that will impact businesses. As businesses go global the gap at leadership level is expected to widen further.
- 54% (Manpower, 2013 Talent Shortage Survey)
- 56% (Deloitte, 2010 Talent Edge 2020: Redrafting talent strategies)
- 85% (Harvard Business Publishing, 2013, Danger in the Middle: Why mid-level managers aren’t read to lead)
Adressing the widening gap challenge and changes in Success traits, Korn Ferry has launched its Four Dimensions of Talent
and Leadership as a comprehensive framework for thinking about talent across
the entire talent management process: from diagnosing the unique needs of your
business based on your business strategy; to determining the strength and gaps
in the talent you currently have; to identifying the best solutions to fill the
gaps; and finally to helping execute the talent strategy whether it is buy,
build and/or develop talent.
KF4D can help answer some of your biggest questions

- Who has leadership potential?
- Who is ready for a promotion?
