In a new white paper released by Thomson Reuters, author Gabriel Teninbaum of Suffolk University Law School offers 11 principles to encourage law firm innovation.
Law firms need to uncover the best ways to manage changes that make them more effective and efficient at serving their clients, the author contends, and offers his ideas with the idea that “an organisation will benefit from doing some of them, even if it is not immediately willing to do all of them.”
However, Teninbaum cautions, his bias is toward action — all the principles require doing something.
The 11 principles offered by the author range greatly, and touch on crucial issues for law firms such as creating the right incentives to spur positive behaviour, when to collaborate, and how to encourage design thinking and project management. “There is no specific moment a law firm becomes innovative,” Teninbaum says. “Though it has to be remembered that innovation is not a state of being — it’s a process of turning new ideas into solutions.”
