Introduction

The in-house legal team that is too busy to spend time on strategies to become less busy will not prove effective in a future where in-house workloads are growing much faster than available resources.

In-house teams frequently find themselves struggling with “today’s problems” to such an extent that it prevents them from enhancing their readiness to deal with tomorrow’s problems.

Worse still, even where teams have prepared a transformation strategy, they often end up lacking capacity to implement it as they deal with the pressures of supporting today’s requirements.

Unfortunately, getting support to deal with today’s problems has not traditionally been easy.

Freeing up your own capacity to focus on your team’s future – is one of the first steps of the critical success pathway for effective transformation.

Your Response To “Today's Problems” Determines Your Ability To Deal With Tomorrow

The GLS Group recognises that unless you come up with ways to help you get through today – you will not be able to focus on creating a better tomorrow.

But solving a today problem is unique in that it typically requires rapid responsiveness, decisive action, resourcing scalability, internally aligned thinking, practicality and experience.

Neither law firms nor temporary-manpower providers are able to align with the needs of your today problems – principally because they do not seek to operate as you do.

GLS Overflow™ is our scalable, on-demand and always-on in-house capacity solution that seeks to replicate the best features of your in-house team and operate as a seamless extension of your team.
