Take a few lessons learned on the golf course and use them to promote a strong ethical corporate culture.
Because of their disposition, background and training, lawyers are often most comfortable expressing themselves through the spoken or written word. The reports that legal departments give to their boards of directors (BOD) are often in the form of narratives of major events (litigation, claims, etc.) that are considered sufficient material for the board’s review. However, BODs continue to increase their expectations of the quality and depth of information they receive from all members of the senior management team. Legal departments can use readily available data and software to create statistics-driven analyses to enhance their understanding of trends in their areas of responsibility, and increase the value of their reports. Come to this session to learn how lawyers without formal business administration training can use common software tools to create analytics (that do not require extensive statistical or modeling expertise or additional expense), and convey this information to their boards.
