The Korn Ferry Associate Network
Leveraging the Korn Ferry Associate Network: Extending our brand and reach
The Korn Ferry Associate Network extends and further leverages the Korn Ferry brand and services by using a full cadre of proven and experienced consultants to enhance client relationships and to deliver services. This document outlines information for engaging with the KF Associate Network.
History and Overview
The founders of Lominger, Mike Lombardo and Bob Eichinger, created Lominger in 1991 to create a research-based competency model with concrete development tools. They challenged the elitism of deciding who had leadership qualities based on college grades and past experience, and wanted to open up organizations to those individuals with the most merit.
The competency library developed by these partners derives from studies at the Center for Creative Leadership, documented in The Lessons of Experience (McCall, Lombardo and Morrison, 1988). The Leadership Architect® Library was researched and created with leadership development in mind. Their research indicated that there are certain types of experiences (jobs, projects) that are instrumental in the development of successful executives’ careers. Those experiences teach certain lessons and skills/competencies (now classified as the Leadership Architect® competencies).
These competencies have continued to be validated over the years via extensive studies conducted in conjunction with many clients. In 2010, Eichinger and Lombardo received the lifetime achievement award from the American Society of Training and Development for this body of work.
Development of the KF Associate Network
As this new competency-based approach gained momentum, the founding partners formed the Korn Ferry Associate Network in 1991 as their consulting arm for promoting, selling and extending Lominger services:
