GLS Legal Department Business Plan™
A tool to help you produce your legal department business plan
The Problem
Your business is asking to receive a business plan for your legal department, perhaps as part of an annual department review / appraisal cycle or as part of a transformation initiative.
Related challenges include:
- you do not have a business plan template giving you a starting point
- you have not had to write a department business plan before
- your business expects you to lay out the future – without guidance as to what that may be
- how to define, capture and plan for extraordinary events / events outside your control
- pressure to demonstrate measurable performance & transformation
- academic -vs- realistic and deliverable strategic outcomes
- lack of time / resources available from your department to develop and deliver the plan
- imprecise available data for you to develop your strategy
