GLS Legal Dept. Efficiency Audit™ (DIY)
Self assess the efficiency of your legal department
The Problem
The business needs improved legal team performance.
Related challenges include:
- to improve you must undertake a “current status” assessment
- legal team “how to guides” are not commonly available
- objectively assessing your own performance is not easy
- you are not sure of what performance audit criteria to use
- you are not clear how your team benchmarks against peer organisations
- it's very hard to find time to conduct an audit on top of existing workloads
- 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 Best Seller Critical Department Resource Transformation Essential
GLS Legal Dept. Efficiency Audit™ (DIY) is an online, easy to implement, intuitive to use, performance diagnostic tool to help you assess the performance of your legal team.
GLS Legal Dept. Efficiency Audit™ (DIY) will help you rapidly assess the current performance levels and capabilities of your legal team in an objective and transparent manner.
Comprising more than 150 diagnostic questions, this tool helps you assess the performance criteria that have the biggest impacts on your team’s productivity.
This tool also will also assess your team’s resource allocations (policies, templates, processes & procedures, technology, etc.), to enable realistic and potent optimization solution pathways to emerge.
The performance criteria against which our module is prepared is that of a “performance optimized” legal support function. As result using the tool provides you with:
- a powerful reference model of what your fully optimized function would look like;
- a detailed view of the critical resources that enable and drive legal team optimization;
- an assessment of the presence and/or current performance of your resources; and
- clearly identified and logical intervention/optimization 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.
