Reverse-Engineering Your Strategic Plan

My friend David Ackert of Ackert Inc. invited me to join his Market Leaders podcast to discuss the mechanics of converting a broad strategic plan into digestible, action-oriented, financially measurable tactics.

One of the most frequently recurring challenges in a modern law firm is to translate a firm strategy into specific lawyer actions that further that strategy. Too many law firms allow individual lawyers to pursue “random acts of lunch” rather than embrace a data-driven approach where different tactics are weighed against their relative effectiveness. In the podcast, we discuss:

  • How to unite firm strategy with data-driven decision-making

  • How law firms can reverse-engineer their business development approach to aid the strategic planning process 

  • How to leverage data to identify the optimal investment of the firm's BD resources
