Is Knowledge Management Just Overhead For Law Firms?

  Eric Rodriguez

Where does knowledge management fit in this climate for law firms? Key points:

  • The efficiency gains from KM should be welcomed when clients are more likely to challenge every item on the bill.
  • With layoffs (whether formal or performance-based) it is important to transfer the knowledge from individual lawyers to teams of lawyers.
  • KM can allow senior lawyers to delegate more to junior lawyers, allowing the senior lawyers to focus on client relationships.
  • Use KM to increase the level of client service.
  • With extra capacity is some areas, it is a great time for law firms to use that capacity on knowledge management activities.
  • Focus on expanding the use of existing systems instead of going out and purchasing something new.

Moving Up the Down Escalator: Tackling Corporate Memory

  Gregory Culpin

“Phil, it’s not as simple as you think. Organizations are living, breathing organisms. They are like people – with their own histories, dreams, desires, jealousies, traditions and habits. And they are made up of people, no two of whom are alike, while at the same time they share certain beliefs, values and behaviours.

Knowledge sharing for anticipatory awareness

  Gregory Culpin

By using this new approach with simple participative networking tools, we go beyond achieving knowledge sharing, ie. the more static end-to-end method of knowledge store and knowledge seek. KM 2.0 generates an ecosystem where people are connected and become more autonomous in getting things done…in all we become a learning organisation. Further to this it may indeed change the way organisations are managed (management 2.0).

From aiming to achieve the KM task of extracting and distributing know-how, these same tools have taken us to even greater places of an evolution in management, and ultimately how this transparency may alter the decisions we make, and how the result of the way we use these tools may change or shape our culture.

  Gregory Culpin

“Today, every larger company has locations spread geographically, and even if it is the same company, usually applying the same business rules, one will find that some of these remote locations are more successful than others.”
