Law Firms Struggle with New Paradigm: Successful Firms Embrace Corporate Model

Denver, CO (PRWEB) June 06, 2012

In recent years, law firms have been faced with new economic and business realities. The old model of the institutionalized law firm wherein each lawyer takes turns managing the firm, is being trumped by the reality of changing attorney-client arrangements and the growing necessity of paying careful attention to support staff development. Many firms are learning that they are in need of an employee development plan just as much (and sometimes even more) than their corporate counterparts.

There is an onset of increased mergers, downsizing, and a new model of partnerships with like-minded businesses, in order to offer a variety of services to clients, who are looking for complete solutions versus simply the services of one or two attorneys. These include accounting services, project management support, temporary CEO assignments, and strategic business planning services, potentially all under the umbrella of one law firm.

The core challenges in making this transition include developing competencies in staff members that have not been previously addressed, such as taking personal responsibility for outcomes, learning successful communication tactics, finding new ways to handle conflict, paying attention to behavioral styles, and managing not only a single role in the firm, but also self-management with respect to the entire firm and long-term career planning.

Law firm employees are now being asked to interact and work successfully with a variety of professionals, and increase their personal effectiveness in order to help their firms make the transition to the new paradigm that offers a variety pack of services along with new and flexible arrangements.

Employee Development Systems, Inc. is now providing programs, such as Increasing Personal Effectiveness that help firms address the core issues they have encountered in these new situations, and shows all the law firm staff employees how to perform more effectively with each other and with outside communication.

Specifically, the Increasing Personal Effectiveness program is being utilized by law firms to successfully instruct employees in the importance of personal accountability, help them develop professional competencies, and develop an understanding of how behavior impacts personal and professional effectiveness, specifically in the legal setting.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 18, 2012

strategicplanningMD announced today a new direction for the two-year-old firm, changing its name to AchieveIt to better describe the companys mission: to help organizations execute smarter, faster, and better. The name change is timed with the release of its version 4.0 cloud-based strategic planning software suite, which includes three robust applications and a comprehensive resource library.

The new name is a recognition of the size, strength, and diversity of our client base and the fundamental reason our clients and prospects turn to us for help in the first place, said Scott Regan, founder and chief execution officer. Our clients are looking to turn organizational vision and goals into real, meaningful, and tangible results. They want to improve strategy formulation and execution management, create a culture of accountability, and, ultimately, achieve their strategic and operational objectives Whatever It is, our singular purpose is to help our clients AchieveIt.

As part of the rebranding initiative, the company has adopted a new tagline that corresponds with its mission statement: Execute Smarter. Faster. Better.

The genesis of strategicplanningMD was a healthcare strategic planning consulting practice that identified the need to automate basic planning functions, tools, and methods using Internet-based applications. Formed in March 2010, the company introduced its first application in July of that year. By June 2012, the company was serving nearly 100 clients in six industries: healthcare, higher education, financial services, professional services, government, and engineering.

Seeing the opportunity to serve a market much broader than healthcare, the company felt a name change was in order, as strategicplanningMDs name connoted a healthcare planning function. In order to reposition itself for growth beyond healthcare and with a focus not only on planning, but also on execution the name AchieveIt was selected.

We are attracting attention from companies with 40,000 employees and from companies with less than 40 employees, said John Tolmie, president and chief growth officer. Our smallest client is a financial services company with 14 employees, and they have the same strategy development and execution management challenges as our largest client, Baylor Health Care system, which has nearly 20,000 employees. The fact is, in todays competitive climate, no company can afford to misfire, and our technology provides a powerful arsenal for achieving corporate objectives.

In conjunction with the name change, AchieveIt announced the release of Version 4.0, which includes the following applications, all rebranded under the new corporate direction:


ExecuteIt: The companys flagship strategy development and execution management application, with additional tools to accelerate accountability and execution, including plan scoring, automatic dashboard trend lines, and integration into the firms other cloud-based applications.
AnalyzeIt: Map data at an address level and conduct on-the-fly analysis with point-and-click technology.
ImproveIt: Now, every aspect of a companys quality and performance improvement program can be managed in the cloud, with complete visibility and transparency.
ShareIt: Unites users with online discussion boards, plus provides file sharing within companies and access to strategy development and execution management resources, as well as best-practice strategy bundles that can be directly imported into plans.
