Business Description

Korn Ferry (referred to herein as the “Company” or in the first-person notations “we,” “our” and “us”) is a global consulting firm that powers individual and business performance. The impact we create spans entire organizations, but it always starts with people. In every market and every technology shift, strategy sets direction, but people make it happen. They lead, adapt, innovate and execute the work that moves organizations forward. For more than 50 years, Korn Ferry has studied how people and organizations perform. With decades of workforce intelligence and real-world experience, we've built a deep understanding of what drives organizational success, what gets in the way and what needs to change. We put that insight into practice every day. Korn Ferry works across the full organization—from strategy and leadership to hiring, development, rewards, and the roles, skills and workforce models needed for the future. While many firms address individual parts of that system, we look across and connect them. By aligning leaders, teams and organizations around a common definition of success, we help organizations make better decisions, execute with confidence and achieve stronger outcomes. Clients increasingly engage us through integrated, multi-year relationships that span a broad range of offerings and scalable delivery models. Our reach reflects the trust clients place in us. Across fiscal years 2025 and 2026, Korn Ferry worked with 94% of the S&P 100, 82% of the S&P 500, 86% of the S&P Europe 350, and 96% of Fortune’s Top 50 World’s Most Admired. These relationships span regions, industries and business models, reinforcing Korn Ferry’s role as a partner to many of the world’s leading and complex organizations. In fiscal 2026, Korn Ferry was named a Founding Partner of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Official Talent and Organizational Consulting Partner. Entrusted to build and align the 5,000+ people who will power the Games, Korn Ferry is helping shape the workforce, leadership structure and organizational capabilities required to deliver one of the world's most visible and operationally complex global events, work that reflects our broader role in helping organizations to succeed in high-stakes environments at pace and scale. The Korn Ferry Advantage What We Know Korn Ferry brings together talent and organizational consulting expertise with more than 50 years of proprietary insight. Our consultants work with boards, CEOs, senior leaders and workforces around the world, giving us a practical view of how organizations are structured, led, staffed, rewarded and run. We have one of the world's deepest and broadest bodies of insight into how people and organizations perform, grounded in real performance in real organizations across industries, regions and markets. Built on more than 12 billion proprietary data points and decades of real-world application, we combine our expertise with our Foundational Assets—data, intellectual property ("IP") and behavioral science—to help organizations identify opportunity and drive results. How We Apply It Our talent intelligence helps reveal patterns that are difficult to see in isolation, connecting leadership, workforce capability, rewards, structure and culture to provide a clearer view of organizational effectiveness. It helps identify where friction exists, where capability gaps are limiting execution and where change will have the greatest impact. To make these insights accessible and actionable, Korn Ferry Talent Suite ® brings them together in a consistent and scalable way. Increasingly, artificial intelligence ("AI") capabilities help surface patterns, generate recommendations, and support decision-making by drawing on those insights. Together, these capabilities enable consultants and clients to access and apply Korn Ferry's insight in a consistent and scalable way through embedded solutions and subscription-based offerings. How We Help Clients Act on It Many organizations address business challenges through separate initiatives. Korn Ferry helps clients understand how leadership, workforce and organizational decisions work together to drive results. By connecting these factors to our clients' business strategies, we help clients improve execution, deploy talent more effectively, focus investment on the areas that matter most and make better decisions about how their organizations grow, adapt and perform.…
