What are success profiles, and why do they make the AI impact score more meaningful?

Success profiles are Korn Ferry's way of defining what greats look like in a role.

They really define the responsibilities that need to be delivered in a role, and then connect those responsibilities to competencies, skills, traits, and drivers that enable successful performance based on scientific measures.

Many approaches to AI automation look at, uh, broad job titles or occupations and ask, "How automatable is this role?" But c- that can be really, really misleading, because two people with the same title may do very different work, and two peoples-- people in very different functions may actually share a lot of similar responsibilities.

So AI does not really disrupt job titles, it disrupts the underlying work.

Karin, how much pushback do you think employees will have when their firms tell them, let's say, forty percent of their job can be automated? Is that going to cause friction in the workplace?

Yes.

I, I would say there will absolutely, uh, be pushback, um, if this is comm-communicated poorly, of course.
