As somebody who has been tasked with heading up a legal operation department, this book has been very helpful and detailed to give me a better idea of what to look and aim for in efficiently running the law department. I recommend it for anyone who is beginning to create a Legal Operations department or is already involved but looking to further their progress.

The author demonstrates such a deep understanding of the subject matter and understand KPI's so fundamentally that his work here can easily be adopted and adapted outside legal operations. I highly recommend reading this well written book to get insight as to what good KPI's are, how the affect decision making and how to fine tune them to get a lot of performance improvement, by making decisions that fully incorporate KPI's as presented here. Anyone dealing with KPI might want to have a copy of this book on their desk. This is a book which is written incredibly complete but also accessible to those with less of a background who are willing to put in an effort and understand the book.' Great job

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.
