One of the most important functions of a practice group is to develop a group-specific strategy and business plan.
Research shows that the planning process is one of the most powerful tools for getting partner buy-in and true collaboration. This buy-in facilitates group success. Research on high-performing teams also proves that having a practice group plan with a small number of key goals is a critical success factor. But, it is also one of the hardest things for a group to achieve since it can be difficult for practice leaders to bring together highly autonomous lawyers to work together in the group’s best interests. It requires the prioritization of a discrete and strategic set of shared goals and a common vision.
Our consultants have helped hundreds of practice groups develop focused and effective plans that create a unified effort among the partners. Whether it is guiding the practice leader in preparation for their planning meetings, reviewing draft plans to provide feedback or assisting in the facilitation of group meetings to develop plans, our consultants can help.
