Welcome to Edge International, Pam Woldow !
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010By Amazing Firms Amazing Practices, Gerry Riskin.
My Edge International partner, Jordan Furlong, has done a nice welcome piece on Pam Woldow already (at his Law 21 blog) but I thought I would echo that Edge International is so very proud and delighted to have her on board.
Also, thank you to friends who have joined us in congratulating Pam, like Valorem's awesome founder, Pat Lamb, who expressed delight in his In Search or Perfect Client Service blog post.
Those of you who know Edge International well can be assured that we are intent on growing in strength and capabilities.
Please make sure you follow Pam's new Blog, At The Intersection, for her continuing wisdom and counsel.
Stay tuned.

Will the Legal Profession Use the World’s First Temporal Analytics Engine?
Friday, August 20th, 2010By Amazing Firms Amazing Practices, Gerry Riskin.
I met virtually with Recorded Future this morning for a close up briefing of how their Temporal Analytics Engine might be used by law firms. Firms who use this can better predict the needs of their own clients and prospective clients as well. There is so much more that this technology can do if used effectively, including monitoring the industries that a firm serves now and perhaps should serve in the future.
How often does a potentially powerful competitive weapon come along for the legal profession… and, more importantly, will law firms recognize it when they see it?
Recorded Future, the world's first Temporal Analytics Engine, is a new predictive analysis tool that allows you to visualize the future, past or present.
Start by reading their blog post today Law Firms and Recorded Future. Then sample their video explanation on their home page.
My Prediction: Very few law firms will do an exemplary job of exploring this technology. Those who do will likely meet considerable resistance internally from those who are slow to trust technology and especially revolutionary technology. I am completely OK with that.
What excites me: is that a few law firms that see the true potential of this technology and will use it in imaginative ways. At Edge International, our core business is helping clients who are committed to achieving competitive advantage. You can bet we will be exploring this with our clients, and maybe some prospective ones as well.

Bold Move by CMS Cameron McKenna: “pay what you think its worth” option
Monday, August 9th, 2010By Amazing Firms, Amazing Practices, Gerry Riskin.
Speaking of bold, CMS Cameron McKenna has a pricing team! (See page 14 of their brochure, The future of fees: your route map to value.)
Punchline: CMS Cameron McKenna has 122 Equity Partners and employs over 1,000 fee earners in 10 offices. They are big enough and influential enough to be a tipping point in their own right. Those other law firms who ignore Alternative Fees and Value Pricing because "they just won't ever take hold" are in grave danger of playing catch up or even missing the boat altogether. You don't need your own pricing team today but what you do need is a team within the partnership to start exploring how your firm will enter this game and when (not if).
Thank you to Gavriel Hollander at The Lawyer for the original story

SECURITY — a lucrative future-oriented practice area awaiting your firm
Saturday, July 17th, 2010By Amazing Firms, Amazing Practices, Gerry Riskin.
Greg George, Managing Partner of top security firm GTI Advisors Threat Management Practice Group has created a comprehensive due diligence report — among his many recommendations, he suggests that businesses consult a law firm - is your law firm ready to answer that call? SECURITY may be a lucrative future-oriented practice area awaiting your firm.
I recommend:
1) Check out GTI Advisors Threat Management Practice Group
2) Download (free) and read Beyond Due Diligence
3) Note the section "Qualified Legal Counsel Is Worth Every Penny" on page 18.
4) Discuss this in your firm and explore an appropriate strategy before you are left in the dust by forward thinking firms that will.
Footnote: Determine if you are the cobbler with no shoes (when it comes to security) — perhaps your law firm could use a few of the amazing ideas in this document as well.
Note: For international clients, this piece is clearly written for American audiences but I believe the vast majority of the content will be useful regardless of your location.

Think Pink ! Motivators More Powerful than Money (revisited)
Saturday, June 5th, 2010By Amazing Firms, Amazing Practices, Gerry Riskin.
This clever animation may reinforce Dan Pink's message from his new book Drive.
Compensation has been the tool of choice in law firms to reward good performance, punish the absence of it and drive change.
You will not want to believe what you are about to hear and see… ask yourself why?
If you are enlightened, gather your management team and start thinking about how to harness the learnings to create peak performance and lower turnover in your firm.

Appreciation as an Action
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010By Amazing Firms, Amazing Practices, Gerry Riskin.
Appreciation is not assumed — it has to be communicated… if you think your clients know you appreciate them, ask your self "how would they"… Make it explicit and you'll separate yourself from the masses !
