GLS Managed Services Function Efficiency Audit™ (DIY)
Self assess your legal team's readiness to utilise managed legal services
The Problem
You want to utilise a legal managed service.
Related challenges include:
- does the necessary legal policy “infrastructure” exist
- what is your current baseline performance
- is there really a business case for a manged service
- supplier’s sell you the “upside” but it is really available to you
- you are not clear how your team’s existing performance benchmarks
- finding time to prepare your legal team for a managed service is difficult
- you know good diagnostic tools provide actionable insights
- your team wants to do more strategic work but just cannot find the time
Wouldn’t it be great if you could access a comprehensive diagnostic tool that allows you to generate actionable insights for your team?
The GLS Solution
GLS Managed Service Function Efficiency Audit™ (DIY) is an online, easy to implement, intuitive to use, performance diagnostic tool to help you assess your readiness for a managed legal service.
GLS Managed Service Function Efficiency Audit™ (DIY) will help you rapidly assess your legal teams infrastructure to determine whether a managed legal service makes sense for your team.
Comprising more than 100 diagnostic questions, this tool also will also assess your team’s resource allocations (policies, templates, processes & procedures, technology, etc), to enable realistic and potent optimisation solution pathways to emerge.
The performance criteria against which our module is prepared is that of a “performance optimised” legal support function. The tool will 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 optimised outcomes;
- an assessment of the presence and/or current performance of your resources; and
- clearly identified and logical intervention/optimisation scenarios to drive function productivity.
This tool will significantly enhance your ability to prepare and implement a transformation plan for your legal team that:
- is self-authored and specific to your business;
- efficiently targets maximum productivity intervention scenarios; and
- is easy, cheap and quick to implement.
Few lawyers like to be critiqued but as so much more is required of modern-day legal teams, it is essential that legal team leaders can obtain objective data and honestly assess performance.
Problem solved.
