Ar e you looking for an easier way to manage your legal matters and your firm?
Law is knowledge work. Much of what we do as lawyers happens inside our heads. The rest—everything that happens outside our heads—is a series o f processes. Sometimes, those processes create problems. They need to be im proved. But you can’t improve what you don’t see. Our challenge: we don’t s ee the process in our work. Often, we don’t see our work at all.
Join Karen Dunn Skinner to talk about ways you can make your work visible, so y ou can manage it more effectively.
Karen will introduce you to the co ncepts of process mapping and matter management boards. You’ll learn how th ese simple tools can be used to improve and manage anything from a single f ile right up to all the work in progress across your firm. By making work v isible, you’ll avoid last minute panics before closing or trial, know who’s working on what and who has availability to take on more, and see where im portant aspects of your work stand.
Whether your lawyers and employee s are all in the same office, working remotely, or spread across jurisdicti ons, you’ll learn strategies that will keep everyone on the same page and p rovide you with real-time information about your matters and your firm in a single glance.
