Korn Ferry has recently published their “2024 North America Professional Services Industry Outlook” report and I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some key findings that stand out. One that we can take a look at which all firms can relate to is the turbulent headwinds testing the market. As stated in the report, “downward pricing pressure remains the most pervasive headwind” and the “higher interest rate environment is on many leaders’ minds, whereas fears about inflation dropped precipitously.” The theme of the year and the reality that all firms have to deliver on is “helping clients achieve growth in a financially constrained environment.” Everyone is under similar constraints. Those who can innovate and adapt will survive the headwinds. More here: https://bit.ly/442Wniw #Report #KornFerry

The most acute need identified in the report is within the finance function, with significant increases in requests for interim CFOs—54% of all interim C-suite needs—and SVP/VP-level finance leaders like Controllers and heads of FP&A (up 114%).

"Because you're an impact leader."   I love hearing about what others think I stand for - particularly when they get it right (most do!).   I've been know for many things in my career and still am:   — Capital Markets: working for clients in this sector. — M&A / Transactions: running huge programmes. — Transformation: helping C-Suite radically change their businesses.   But so many other people have led similar work.   So what makes me unique?   Relentless drive. Thinking forward. Inspiring others. Speaking stories. Leading with impact.   Your brand shouldn't just speak to what you do, it needs to speak to HOW you do it.   Focus on what makes you unique.   #PersonalBranding #ImpactLeadership
