Partnering with clients to facilitate transformation. A Private Equity client was in the midst of executing on a M&A roll-up strategy. Several of the assets were underperforming many years into ownership. The client engaged Korn Ferry to diagnose the organization to help them make critical leadership decisions, design the organization, and improve effectiveness of a new leadership team.

Korn Ferry conducted in-depth, multi-method leadership assessments and an organization and culture review. As a result, our client was positioned to make decisions based upon reliable and predictive data and redesign the organization for growth and performance. Based on results and high sensitivity to organization dynamics, the client engaged Korn Ferry to apply these successful methods across other growth and turnaround situations.
