Strategic Priorities

What are the “significant few” actions that are most important to the future of your law firm?

You have tried traditional strategic planning exercise in the past, but your partners think that it was a waste of time.

You have a strategic plan, but have not been able to achieve most of its goals.

Your partners are busy and don't have the time or money to spend on another unproductive business-school exercise led by consultants who know almost nothing about your firm or the day-to-day realities of the business of practicing law.

Your firm's revenue per lawyer has been static or slowly declining over the past three years.

You are not sure how to respond to the changes that are taking place in your market or in your firm.

If any of these statements describe your law firm, you are ready for a Walker Clark Strategic Priorities Review.

The Strategic Priorities Review has five major steps:

  • information collection to ensure that your strategy is well-informed — based on your business realities rather than wishful thinking

  • a Strategic Priorities Conference, which usually lasts one and one-half days and gives you and your partners an opportunity to give your strategic thinking a good, hard intellectual shake

  • a comprehensive written report that focuses on three to five strategic priorities — goals that you firm must achieve in the next three to five years to improve your opportunities for success in the fast-changing legal markets of the 2020s and 2030s — with action plans, and performance measurements, all of which are intensely focused on producing the best return on your investment of time, intellectual energy, and resources

  • unlimited implementation advice and support to help you move from planning to successful action in the critical first 90 days after you receive our report.

Regardless of whether your firm's current business strategy fills an entire binder, is unwritten, or even non-existent, the Strategic Priorities Review cuts through the uncertainties and ambiguities to focus on what your firm needs to do today to succeed tomorrow.
