What is involved
Step 1 – Business Analysis
Lionel and a member of his team will attend the law firm and analyse the work practices and financial records of the firm and interview the business owners, staff, and clients.
Step 2 – Health Report
Following a thorough analysis of the business, a detailed report outlining the health of the practice will be provided to the business owners. This report will contain recommendations on how the health of the firm can be improved.
Step 3 – Strategic Planning
The business owners will meet with Lionel and a member of his team to develop a strategic plan. This plan will address improvements to each area of their business and provide a realistic time for the implementation of the plan.
Step 4 – Business Coaching
To ensure the strategic plan is carried out the business owners or staff responsible for implementing the plan will have a telephone conference with Lionel each week. An assistant business analyst works with the business personnel to ensure the implementation requirements are completed each week.
