Legal Team Knowledge Harvest Guide™
A toolkit to help your legal team harvest the knowledge it needs
The Problem
Your legal team is not gathering, managing and utilizing its know-how in an optimized way.
Related challenges include:
- you need to leverage the productivity of your legal team
- your business does not have a clear or effective know-how strategy
- you do not consistently capture deal-memory and learnings from each deal you complete
- every lawyer in your team follows slightly different "know-how capture" strategies
- each year you pay for training resources, but then fail to maximize ROI of that expenditure
- if anyone leaves your team, their knowledge leaves with them and your team takes a step back
- capturing your own know-how is much cheaper then “buying in” know-how
- you have limited budget for external consultants / you need to implement these changes in DIY fashion
Wouldn't it be great if you had a best practice guide for how to efficiently implement know-how capture protocols into your legal department?
The GLS Solution
Legal Team Knowledge Harvest Guide™ is a DIY guide that sets out in detail the best practices for capturing and leveraging knowhow resources (and how to implement those practices into your legal department).
This Guide includes detailed break-downs on:
- the theory of knowledge leverage
- the value of knowledge resources to your department
- what exactly are “Knowhow Resources”
- what are the major categories of know-how
- the Top 10 forms of legal team know-how
- the pitfalls of over collecting knowledge precedents
- how to efficiently capturing deal-memory and department knowhow
- how to establish a centralized repository for your department's knowhow
- how to efficiently leverage the collective knowhow of your legal department
- an overview of simple and effective “knowhow” tools
This Guide is set out in easy to under “plain English” with guidance notes specifically designed to enable you to efficiently implement these practices in to the day-to-day working practices of your legal department.
In an era where more productivity is expected with less available resources, using knowledge capture to increase the productivity of your legal team is essential.
Indeed, any legal team that is not actively capturing the knowledge tools it needs, something that does not require extensive funding, is a legal team that is not yet embraced what it takes to achieve high performance outcomes.
Problem solved.
