Overview

Principal - Assessment & Succession / Leadership Development

Imagine an organisation united behind a bold purpose. Where everyone feels empowered and supported. Where leaders are inspiring and authentic, and human potential explodes with possibility. An organisation that is as strong, creative, and energetic as its people. At Korn Ferry, a global consulting firm, we call this a ‘radically human’ organisation and it is our mission to support our clients as they realise themselves as radically human organisations.

Our approach focuses on helping clients close their ‘potential gap’ – that is, the distance between where their talent is today and where it needs to be to drive superior and sustainable growth. We work with organisations to design their structures, roles, and responsibilities. We help them hire the right people to bring their strategy to life. And we advise them on how to reward, develop, and motivate and excite their people. Our 8,600 colleagues serve clients in more than 50 countries. To do so, Korn Ferry’s consulting practices are organised into five core areas:

• Assessment & succession
• Total rewards
• Talent acquisition

Key values and beliefs

At Korn Ferry, we strongly believe people are at the heart of organisational success. As a people-oriented organisation, we emphasise values that are ‘radically human’:

• Inclusion: We embrace people with different points of view, from all backgrounds. And we think and work as one team.
• Honesty: We say what we mean and do what we say. We hold ourselves to the highest standards. And we make it safe for people to speak out when they see something wrong.
• Knowledge: we are insatiably curious, always learning new things. And we actively help our colleagues grow and develop, too, with mentoring and support.
• Performance: we never settle for the status quo. We always strive to be better today than we were yesterday and do our best for our clients, colleagues, and shareholders.

Assessment & Succession (A&S)

Using world-class assessment tools, intellectual property, research and benchmarks, Korn Ferry A&S provides organisations with deep insights into their talent to help answer these questions:

• What leadership and talent do they need? We can define the talent organisations need by creating research-based customised predictive Success Profiles that identify the vital leadership attributes needed for success in a role, given the organisational culture and strategy.
• What leadership and talent do they have? We use world-class tools to assess organisations’ talent for Performance, Potential, Readiness or Fit and we also employ a research-based talent review process to identify the type of talent organisations have.
• How do they close the gap? We use insights driven by analytics to help organisations create paths of actions and thus, close the gaps.

Our A&S solutions combine high touch, in-depth, personalised solutions for executives, with higher tech, scalable and global solutions for higher volume. By doing so we are able to support and facilitate enterprise-wide change and transformation.

POSITION SUMMARY & KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

The Principal consultant will work closely with colleagues to design and deliver complex, customised and multi work-stream solutions that meet and exceed client expectations, leveraging Korn Ferry’s A&S offerings and capabilities to deliver transformation through people. At this level, business development and client relationship management feature as an important focus of the role in addition to delivery.

• Contribute to key accounts by project managing work streams and/or leading project delivery teams by defining scope, objectives and project management structures whilst ensuring a constant focus on outcomes, value and impact. Projects may span multiple service lines and often involve managing multiple consultants from other offices / countries.
• Work in close collaboration with Digital Product colleagues to scope, shape, and deliver digitally enabled solutions – enabling assessment insights to be generated at scale in support of client transformation and development agendas.
• Deliver core A&S services as a practitioner – assessing executives (through interviews, business simulations and other methodologies), providing feedback coaching to support client participant development, and facilitating client talent review discussions.
• Leverage the extensive experience of internal KF industry or practice experts to bring the best thinking and global expertise to the client.
• Contribute to thought leadership and/or research. Speak at local or national events about talent and organisational topics to enhance the KF brand. Develop relationships with industry and thought leaders externally to increase the awareness and prestige of KF.
• Support less experienced consultants through mentoring and project-based development and coaching.
• Develop deeper expertise in Assessment & Succession, and become conversant in all Korn Ferry Advisory offerings to facilitate and challenge client thinking and deliver broad solutions that enable transformation through both structural and behavioural change.
• Continue to deepen and broaden own consulting skills, business or sector understanding and expertise.

EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, & OTHER QUALIFICATIONS

• Typically, a relevant higher (Master’s or Doctorate) degree plus relevant work experience in a consultancy and/or a client HR function. Alternatively, significant work experience in a top tier professional services firm.
• Must have passion for the application of assessments and behavioural diagnostics as part of talent management practices, succession planning, or broader transformation efforts.
• Experience planning and managing programmes and workstreams that deliver organisation change – preferably through interventions that are focused on driving behavioural and capability based insights.
