Law Firm Knowledge Management
Knowledge is the most important asset of a law firm.
Yet traditionally, law firms have not focussed on how to best manage this
asset. The result has been duplicative work practices, creating cost inefficiencies
and the potential for inconsistent legal advice, increasing the
risk exposure of the law firm. It is a law firm business imperative to
focus on knowledge management.
Knowledge management is only partly about technology.
Successful knowledge management also focuses on creating a culture
of knowledge sharing, and building the appropriate organisational
structure to support the capture and dissemination of knowledge. Knowledge
management initiatives must also align with a law firms business
strategy.
Developing a knowledge management strategy
that aligns with your business strategy and addresses technology, culture
and organisation is a critical first step in building an effective knowledge
management environment.
Curve Consulting guides its law firm clients through the development of
the knowledge management strategy to implementation of specific knowledge
management initiatives. Beyond technology, Curve Consulting advises law
firms on how to address fundamental cultural and organisational barriers
to successful knowledge management.
