precision thinking
The phrase "big picture" usually comes to mind when one thinks about strategic issues.
This might actually be preventing you from solving some of your most important problems.
Many of the most important issues that law firms face today require highly-focused concentration on very precise issues, many of which arise suddenly and demand prompt attention. The ability to respond with clarity and precision, and with reference to a firm's larger business goals, is truly a critical survival skill, especially for most small and midsize law firms.
looking over the horizon

Traditional strategic planning methods are failing many small and midsize law firms.
Rapidly changing client expectations and fiercely competitive legal markets present a frustrating intellectual challenge for smaller firms that have been successful so far, but now are confronted by an uncertain future and limited resources.
- What's over our horizon? How can we know, with reasonable confidence, what our legal market will be like in the 2020s and beyond?
- What do we need to do now -- not only to remain competitive and profitable today, but also to prepare to respond to the challenges that we will face ten years from now?
Walker Clark offers two services that can help your firm develop and implement cost-effective, fact-based answers to these questions.
