More than necessary work for the Brazilian legal market… about WHAT, WHY… and HOW to implement KPIs that truly generate impact on the business (not just on legal operations themselves).
This is a great book to learn about all the different key performance indicators relevant to legal operations. Highly recommended.
Great guide that consolidates many different aspects of metrics and KPIs into one source. The book is also linked to an interactive website that supports a more dynamic experience.
As a Legal Ops professional, this book has become my go-to resource. I own many legal-related books, but this is the only one that earns a permanent place on my desk. Time and again, I reach for it to identify the right KPIs for a particular practice group or circumstance. I also use it for inspiration on which charts to include in reports, making it an essential tool not only for metrics but also for clear communication. The content is thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to quickly find exactly what you need or to spark fresh ideas. Whether you’re working in-house or at a law firm, and regardless of department size, this book is an invaluable guide. Highly recommended!
A good complement to your initial book.
Legal Operations KPIs – The Professional’s Handbook to Operational Excellence by Mori Kabiri is a book with in-depth, practical examples considering the business and KPIs associated with legal operations. The book covers data, metrics and KPIs, and includes explanations and examples for spend management, budgets, resources and performance management, law firm and vendor management (including external expense distribution analysis), cross-functional collaboration, diversity and inclusion, and risk management and best practices. This is a great toolkit to start off anyone wanting help with practical tips and examples.
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!
Such impressive drive and dedication to helping make the ecosystem the best. 👏 👏 👏
This isn't a book that just sits on a shelf. Believe me - I enjoyed reading it so much, I took it with me on a holiday trip as my hobby read. (I will admit I am a data nerd but still.) What I appreciate most about this book is its practicality. Mori's approach is straightforward and focused on application, which makes the book accessible regardless of your expertise level. The inclusion of digital resources via QR codes and the detailed explanations of each KPI make this a tool I can use consistently to make informed decisions and improve our department's performance and reputation. I appreciate it not only for its depth in legal metrics but also for its broader application across other business functions like compliance and finance. I suspect this text is secretly useful for law firms and vendors as well. Understanding the intricacies of how corporate legal departments operate can be challenging. Legal Operations KPIs acts like a cheat code, offering insights into corporate needs and expectations, which can significantly enhance the services providers offer. As someone deeply involved in our legal department, Legal Operations KPIs has proven to be a highly useful guide. For anyone in a legal operations role looking to make a tangible impact, I'd recommend this book.
