HIGH POTENTIAL PROGRAMS: EXPENSIVE RISK OR CRITICAL INVESTMENT?

WHAT WE’VE KNOWN FOR A WHILE: LEADERSHIP TALENT PROGRAMS AREN’T PERFORMING.Korn Ferry research back in 2016 found that less than 1 in 4 companies believed they had a “ready now” talent pipeline.

SO, WHAT’S CHANGED?Not much, it seems.

A recent Korn Ferry poll of HR professionals found that…

BUT THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM HAS MAGNIFIED.

34%say they are missing high potential leaders by not looking deep enough in the organization.
