Why is this Important?
ALIGNMENT
Aligning your business 100% to your business type is ESSENTIAL. In the best of times if you don’t do this it will slow your Growth Capacity. In economic downturns, it can break you if you don’t handle this.
Most companies that we experience (as a customer or as a trusted advisor) do not do this. Look for where your company isn’t aligned like your life depends on it (it does). Why aren’t most companies doing this if it is so important? Because they think customer service is what one needs to focus on, not organizational excellence. Typically when we go to a new client we find many inconsistencies that are costing you clients, profits and peace of mind.
I learned more in a 3 hour session than 3 days at a Harvard Business School Management training I recently attended .

My group helped me rekindle my passion for the Law. My chair and group members hold me accountable to the commitments I make, and they challenge me to create a professional and personal life that is rich and fulfilling. They will settle for nothing less for me.
On a more practical note, I developed a P & L on each attorney, at the urging of Rosemary, to show the bottom line contribution of each attorney within the firm. We then used that document to have discussions with each attorney about their contribution to the firm at review time and bonus time. Results: eliminated 2 low performers and increased the effectiveness of the remaining team members. My Group also assisted me in analyzing where and when to move my offices.
With the assistance of my group and my chair, Rosemary, I am now creating a legacy at BPP that I can be proud of when the time comes to retire.

My executive team was highly dysfunctional until the Solutions team began working with me, and eventually my direct reports. Now we manage conflict constructively. We have trust and accountability. As a result, my team have created a blue ocean strategy for our industry.
