Plan Implementation: Addressing the Follow-Through Problem

Most law firms devote a significant amount of partner-level energy on annual business and BD plans. Unfortunately, consumed with daily deadlines, very few firms find the time required to execute their plans. Without effective follow-through systems, planning templates become little more than perfunctory, administrative burdens, and law firms realize very little by way of change management.

In this program, we will discuss the pitfalls you must avoid if you want your plans to guide new action. Specifically, we will review:

· The elements of an effective plan

· The approach that is most likely to secure buy-in across the firm

· The accountability measures that spark action without causing friction

· Follow-through systems that improve performance throughout the year

This is an ideal time to assess whether your 2021 plan was effective, and how you can set the stage for a better 2022.
