  • Module 1: See Your Practice Differently.

    If you keep doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result, you're wasting your valuable time and energy.

    You'll learn to see your practice differently, so you can start doing things differently and finally get the results you want. It starts right here in Module 1.

    We'll look at what's changing in the legal profession today and examine what's driving YOU to do things differently in your own practice.

    You'll start by defining your vision for the future. Your new insight will give you the power to build the practice you want, whatever that looks like to you.

    We'll introduce your toolkit and the 5-step Practice Accelerator Framework, and you'll...

    Learn to:
    >> Understand what law firms need for growth.

    >> Define what success looks like for you.

    >> Harness the power of incremental change.

  • Module 2: Identify Your ONE Big Thing

    Law is knowledge work. It's true that a lot of what your clients value comes from what goes on inside your head…but everything outside your head is a process. And every one of those processes can be improved.

    In this module, we’re going to look hard at the processes you have in place and identify the ones you need to accelerate your practice.

    You’re going to identify ONE IMPORTANT PROCESS you want to improve. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to teach you, step-by-step, exactly how you’re going to make that process better.

    Learn to:
    >> Define your work. It's the first step in our Practice Accelerator Framework.

    >> Look at what you do through the eyes of your clients: who are they and what do they need & want

    >> Understand the processes law firms need to succeed and take a hard look at own your processes.

    >> Select your TARGET, the one key process you're going to work on for the rest of Practice Accelerator. If you follow our framework and put in the work, you will see results within the next 90 days

  • Module 3: Set Your Baseline

    You can’t improve what you can’t see. In this module you’ll focus on how you work now to deliver what your clients need.

    In this second step in the Practice Accelerator Framework, you'll MEASURE the performance of your current state.

    We’ll introduce you to the concepts of value and waste, and teach you how to identify the wastes in the way you work.

    Your goal: to understand your baseline so you can accelerate from there.

    Learn to:
    >> Use the DOWNTIME method for spotting the eight wastes that are making your work take longer than it should, or seem harder than it should.

    >> Identify the wastes, frustrations, and friction points in your practice, and especially in your target process.

    >> Start thinking like an innovator: every problem you identify is an opportunity to make your practice better.

  • Module 4: You've Found the Problems...Now What?

    Change initiatives often fail because people fix the wrong things. They treat the symptoms of a problem, without looking at its root cause.

    The result: people get frustrated. Their effort feels wasted because the problem just keeps coming back.

    In this module, you’ll learn to avoid this trap. You'll ANALYZE the problems you've found and get laser-focused on the real sources of your inefficiency and waste. Fix those and your practice can take off.

    Learn to:
    >> Stop blaming yourself and other people for broken processes.

    >> Identify the six typical causes of waste in law practices and spot them in your own office.

    >> Master an easy-to-use tool to get to the bottom of the problems that are putting the brakes on your practice, costing you money, and wasting your time

  • Module 5: Redesign Your Process for Maximum Impact

    Now for the fun part! You know where the problems are and what's causing them. You've done the diagnosis...now it's time for the cure. Welcome to the IMPROVE phase of the Practice Accelerator Framework.

    In this module, you’ll design solutions to overcome the inefficiency and waste in your target process.

    When you’re done, you’ll have a plan: a list of improvement opportunities prioritized by benefit and effort.

    You’ll have the roadmap to create your new practice.

    Learn to:
    >> Adopt the innovator's mindset and completely change the way you respond to ideas and improvements.

    >> Run effective brainstorming sessions that generate long and strong lists of improvement opportunities.

    >> Apply two simple tools to prioritize those improvement opportunities based on the outcome they deliver and the effort you're going to have to put in.

    >> Create an improvement plan for your target process.
