GLS General Counsel Function Performance Report™ (Delivered)

GLS General Counsel Performance Report™ (Delivered) is a fully managed bespoke reporting solution that objectively, fairly and honestly assesses the current performance levels of your general counsel office and provides practical recommendations on how to achieve powerful performance improvements. 

Transforming the performance of your general counsel function requires understanding your current position. This report provides a data-based report on how efficiently your general counsel function is performing and benchmarks it against best practice. 

With a particular focus on common potential inefficiency scenarios, in light of benchmark data, we are able to identify practical productivity optimisation strategies – with an emphasis on what is practical and what is known to work. 

Our comprehensive diagnostic modules are deployed to your internal stakeholders via desktop surveys that generate thousands of data points – along with selective 1-hour long key stakeholder interviews. 

The performance criteria against which our report is prepared is that of a world class “performance optimised” general counsel function. As result the report provides provide you with:

• a powerful reference model of what your fully optimised function would look like;
• a detailed view of the critical resources that enable and drive function optimisation;
• an assessment of the presence and/or current performance of your resources;
• an assessment of the productivity consequences of your current general counsel infrastructure;
• best practice markers for key function features and basic recommendations on performance initiatives; and
• clearly identified and logical intervention/optimisation scenarios to drive function productivity.

This solution provides you the authority of an expert third party voice on the current performance levels and capabilities of your general counsel function in an objective and transparent manner. This makes it easier for you internally to justify the resources you need. 

Critically, there are no ‘negative’ findings – just blueprint recommendations for your team to achieve optimised general counsel function performance. Our optimisation recommendations are intentionally pragmatic and backed by performance data that speak to productivity strategies that actually work. 

This solution helps prepare you to pro-actively face the future on your own terms and increase the strategic relevance of your team. If you are serious about your overall legal team transformation, this is an essential first step initiative. 

Problem solved.
