I'm jumping on the bandwagon of those who already recommended the book—and that just confirms it’s definitely worth reading. You can find a lot of content about KPIs and OKRs in general, and there’s plenty of talk about how Legal Operations provides value to an organization. But I’ve never seen such a precise analysis and listing of metrics that are specifically suited to provide evidence of that value through reliable data. I’m glad I read it before tackling some KPI-related topics this year—and I’ll certainly recommend it to the team.

Great learning opportunity! In Mexico legal ops and KPI are topics that aren't discussed as much as they should, there are much benefits for in-house counsels in learning about these topics.

Invaluable legal operations resource! A lot of people talk about KPI's in the legal industry/legal operations, but this book provides a detailed, solid foundation for readers who want to put theory into practice. As the saying goes, "you can't improve what you don't measure," and this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to measure performance and optimize legal operations. Mori Kabiri is universally regarded as an authority on this topic, and I'm grateful he and his team took the time to share his wisdom in writing!

This book (in English or Spanish) is a great reference resource that helps explain what a metric is, what an indicator is, the different types of indicators, and how to visualize data for legal management. The book also provides different examples of indicators related to spend, budget, management, diversity, data quality, legal compliance, and risk management; and as if that weren’t enough, it also includes an entire chapter on best practices with a diagnostic tool for legal data analytics. In any organization, having the right indicators is crucial to properly guide work, innovation, technology implementation, and process improvement. This book will save hours of research by presenting a wide variety of indicators and helping teams decide which ones are right for them. This book is a major contribution to Spanish-language literature on legal operations, informed by years of industry experience, and will help accelerate knowledge for legal management teams across Spanish-speaking countries.
