Intelligence vs. Adaptability

Key Factors for Future Success​

At Fornell Human Capital, our focus during the recruitment process is on candidates’ ability to learn and adapt. These qualities are crucial to success in today’s rapidly changing world.

At a time when the ability to acquire knowledge quickly is becoming increasingly important, these skills are crucial for future success. Our unique approach to identifying these qualities ensures that we select the right leaders for the Supervisory Board, Board of Directors, Executive Board, Management, HR, and for ambitious candidates.

Learning Ability​

The ability to learn is essential for success in any role. In large international organizations, the ability to learn is considered the most important factor for future success—even more important than intelligence or education.

​The ability to learn refers to the skill and willingness to absorb new experiences and apply them quickly and effectively in challenging situations. It also means the ability to let go of old habits and continuously improve, so that you can continue to excel in a changing environment.

Learning Ability as the Key to Success

Research shows that only a limited number of employees have a high capacity for learning, and less than one-third of top performers have the potential to advance to a higher-level position. It is therefore crucial to take learning ability into account in the selection process. By evaluating this through targeted interviews, reference checks, and assessments, we can identify the right candidates who are ready to excel. Our goal is to help you find leaders who have the potential to take your organization to the next level.

Adaptability​

Flexibility is the ability to function effectively in rapidly changing situations.

For this reason, we make flexibility a key part of our selection process. We do this through targeted interviews, reference checks, and assessments.

We support supervisory boards, board members, executive boards, management teams, HR professionals, and candidates in working successfully in dynamic environments.

Our own network of executive coaches.

To support the development of your leaders, we collaborate with experienced executive coaches. They help
strengthen their self-awareness and leadership skills, both personally and professionally.
