Client Story

© 2017 Korn Ferry. All rights reserved31
Background
Achievements
▪In two years, revenue increased $40 million from newly acquired accounts in the
target markets.
Approach
Over a 12 month period, Korn Ferry worked along side
the organization’s marketing division to help identify
market “promises around: service, representation and
support
Additionally, Korn Ferry partnered to:
―Create a custom management program that prepared
leaders to attract, hire and retain diverse professionals
―Identify HR policies and systems that needed to be
changed or initiated to support this new organizational
focus
•Global Financial institution: realized a gap in market
share in minority markets (Hispanic, Black and Asian)
•They determined that their employee client-facing
base was not representative of these targeted
markets
•Additionally, there was a gap in skill set specific to
serving these target markets effectively, both in
client- facing and corporate positions
