Korn Ferry Leadership Architect™ Implementation

Strategic human resource management aligns HR practices with organisational strategy, building the talent needed to achieve business objectives.

The Korn Ferry Leadership Architect™, based decades of research, provides the tools and resources for a systemic talent management system.

Begin by attending a Korn Ferry Leadership Architectcertification or training course to gain a comprehensive overview of your options and develop a plan for your competency goals.

You might decide to start by building a leadership model aligned with business goals, create success profiles for critical roles, or revise your talent acquisition process.

Then, think about how you will implement your newly acquired knowledge. How ready are your people to adopt new practices ? Do you need a strong business case to win them over to you ideas? Would they prefer a detailed plan or a fast, practical solution?

Successful Implementation

The LDN International team has worked with these tools and resources for many years and has an unparalleled depth of expertise in their application.

Observing those who have successfully introduced competencies, we notice that they:

  • Treat their implementation as a project, planning, organising and measuring progress.
  • Engage others in the initiative, assigning them roles and responsibilities.
  • Source external assistance to supplement their in-house capacity and capability.
  • Tailor their approach to their people and culture.
  • Develop a communication plan for all stakeholder groups.
  • Set realistic time frames to avoid overloading people.

Leadership Tools and Resources

When you start, an important consideration will be what tools you need, how many and in what format.

You can purchase the books, card decks, and research guides from the online Korn Ferry product store. The content of these resources is also available in a digital platform that gives you a single access point to the product suite.

Known as the Talent Hub, the digital platform is accessible through a subscription. It contains resources ready to use or edit to suit your needs and to download the content to your organisation’s intranet.
