Reimagining the Future of Work: Moving Beyond Technical Skills to Build a Whole-Person Strategy with Lesley Uren, Senior Client Partner, and Stacie Overbaugh, Chief Product Officer, Korn Ferry
As industries face unprecedented disruption, the need to build a future-ready workforce has never been more urgent. Yet, many organisations focus narrowly on technical skills, seeking short-term solutions to long-term challenges. Korn Ferry believes this approach misses a crucial element – understanding the whole person. Success in the future of work requires a shift in thinking, where organisations align technical abilities with behavioural competencies and personal identity.
In this session, we’ll explore how to reimagine your talent strategy by leveraging a holistic view of skills. We’ll discuss why focusing on the "what," "how," and "who" of work – combining technical skills, soft competencies and individual identity – can drive sustained success and move you forever forward.
You’ll also discover how a skills-based approach, grounded in the broader context of human potential, can help your organisation navigate disruption, foster adaptability and lead the future of work.
