- Job description 1About Organizational Strategy

Technology. Customers. Markets. They are all changing faster than ever. And businesses are transforming to keep up or keep ahead. Auto brands are selling services, not just cars. Manufacturers are selling data, not just products. Some businesses are pushing into new territories, others are merging. No sector is immune.

Korn Ferry’s Organizational Strategy team provides end to end support to organizations who want to transform their business. We help them translate their strategy into something they can operationalize, by aligning both the tangible elements of the organization - people, structure and process - and the intangible elements - motivations, relationships and culture. This enables us to anticipate and react to evolving markets, drive true behavioral and organizational change - and make it stick.

At Korn Ferry we work with leaders to first clarify their strategy, then cascade the results into an operating model, organizational structure and processes. We leverage industry-leading tools and methodologies and work collaboratively with leadership to:

- Align leaders around a shared and compelling purpose.
- Clarify the strategy so it's fit-for-purpose and can be implemented.
- Develop an operating model that manages competing priorities and ensures that everything the business does adds value to the bottom line.
- Design a detailed organizational structure that aligns with the operating model and focuses people on doing the right things.
- Develop effective governance processes that help the organization work.
