I recently completed 'Legal Operations KPIs,' and it's a game-changer for legal professionals navigating the evolving data landscape. The author's expertise shines through, providing not just a guide but a compass to legal ops excellence. What sets this book apart is its practicality; it equips both legal and technical audiences with the tools to create, deliver, and interpret crucial reports and metrics. The companion website, legalopskpi.com, further enhances the utility, offering valuable resources. A must-read for proactive legal ops professionals and GCs aligning with corporate needs.
This week, while reviewing materials and updating content, I came across this data point (image below) in the fantastic Legal Operations KPIs book and thought: are we measuring what really matters in legal? And more: are we learning from what we measure? Or just stacking data? I leave this reflection here — and keep learning, to continue teaching with purpose.
If you wish to deepen your knowledge on this topic, I strongly recommend reading Professor Mori Kabiri’s book – Legal Operations – The Professional’s Handbook to Operational Excellence, as well as following upcoming initiatives from Jurídico Sem Gravata, which has proven to be an excellent source of learning and networking.
For the most part, Legal Ops is a relatively new role in terms of a "title" but many people have been doing to work for years. Mori's book serves as the infrastructure. It provides tangible workflows that are extremely detailed and in my opinion his work is the anchor or underpinning to any Legal Ops team. I am only half way through the book and find myself pausing to contemplate how to fold these concepts into my workflows, hence the tags/markers on the margin to make sure I go back! These KPI's are in such demand and ultimately provide the organization with detailed analysis to unpack efficiencies, areas for improvement, shifts in spend, etc. The digital version of the book which is accessible via your hard copy fosters a culture for submitting questions and knowledge sharing which makes us all better!
The timing is perfect, especially with all the changes in the industry. I'm already thinking of a few lawyer friends I'm going to recommend Law Firm KPIs to. Fantastic work!
