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.
Just purchased it on Amazon! Looking forward to diving in.
Well organized and comprehensive look at legal operations KPIs. This is a must have book for General Counsel, Chief Legal Officers and other legal operations professionals.

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.
