Legal-Project Management
Managing legal projects - technology, operations, or cases/matters themselves - is different. It requires far more than project management skills. Lexician Legal Project Management techniques increase the likelihood of success on difficult projects.
Project Management Training
Lexician offers half-day, full-day, and multi-day group training sessions to help build an effective Legal Project Mangement team based on the principles in the groundbreaking book Legal Project Management:
- Introduction to Legal Project Management
- Assessing and Managing Project Risks
- Project Management for Non-Project-Managers
- Understanding and Calculating the ROI (Return on Investment) of Projects and Alternative Fee Arrangements
- Lean Process Management: Efficiency Without Pain (or Buzzwords)
- Understanding Project Trade-offs: The Key to Successful Projects
Lexician can also customize training for your specific needs and environment.
Project Coaching/Consulting
Lexician can help you succeed with your specific projects by coaching project managers, utilizing Steven's proven methodology. Lexician can also help you design and execute successfully on projects: developing a valid ROI plan, building an RFP that works, analyzing and minimizing risks, even rescuing projects in trouble.
Project/Risk Assessments
What can go wrong on your project? How do you identify and prioritize risks? What does good contingency planning look like? Mitigation planning? (They're not the same thing at all.) If the biggest risk centers on unclear goals (see below), the second-biggest risk is incomplete or ineffective risk planning. Let Lexician help you assess your project risks and design a plan to minimize, avoid, or handle these risks.
Legal Project Goal Setting
The biggest risk to most legal projects is not implementation. Rather, it's an inability to clarify or communicate goals. This risk is magnified in a value-based AFA (alternative fee arrangement) environment.
Avoid this common stumbling block with training and consulting up front. Goal-setting and communication failures often appear to be planning or execution failures... but they're not... and they're avoidable with specialized Legal Project Management.
