KF4D - 4 Dimensions of Leadership and Talent


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 about Talent and Leadership
  • What talent do I need?
  • Who will succeed?
  • Who has leadership potential?
  • Who is ready for a promotion?
  • Who is the right fit for the company culture?
  • How do we close the gap?
Underpinning this framework is a talent analytics engine based on data form over 2.5 Million assessments of individuals at all levels, geographies and function. In particular, Kornferrys database is weighed toward senior leadership in the C-suite, VPs and Board of Directors. 

The four dimensions (Competencies, Experiences, Traits and Drivers. ) measures attributes of individuals that are more readily visible as well as those that are harder to see and critical to and someone’s career decisions and behavior.
