In a business landscape of constant change and major disruptions, one thing remains in your full control: building a quality workforce.

Who you hire, how you develop them, and what you do to retain them is all up to you - and making the right calls throughout the employee lifecycle is what will make the difference in an organization’s success or its failure.

From a top leader at Korn Ferry, The Talent Manifesto provides a breakthrough talent strategy for today’s data-driven organizations. This guide reveals the most common dysfunctions in talent management, explains how to overcome them, and delivers provocative yet proven methods for making talent management a critical element of your company’s success. You’ll learn how to:

Rebuild your talent strategy so it drives your company’s overall business performance

  • Generate and apply reliable data for making high-stakes people decisions

  • Use artificial intelligence to enhance decision making

  • Advise corporate leaders what they need to do (and stop doing) to be more competitive

The methods detailed in these pages are the same ones Korn Ferry uses to help a diverse array of companies compete so effectively today.

The increasingly digitized and innovative business space you’re working in calls for more than inward-facing technologies, strategies and processes claiming to cure all talent management ills. It takes people - the right people in the right jobs, fully engaged, to differentiate their business.
