How Rob Works
I will work with large to medium sized firms anywhere in the world where my services can be delivered in English, including emerging markets. Most of my experience has been with law and accounting firms, although I am more than game to work with any other kinds of professional service firms, too.
Service Goals:
- Help Law and other professional service firms craft strategy that is more meaningful, profitable and sustainable
- Make the task of those that craft such strategy easier, better informed and more inspired
- Help ensure that the strategy that is crafted actually gets not only executed but executed well
Services:
1. Helping firms rethink their strategy process so that they can make the transition from strategy as a periodic "strategic planning" event to strategy as an ongoing process of re-inventive planning as the market evolves, and creating and sustaining a state of dynamic resilience to a range of possible futures, instead of just the one that was anticipated when the strategy was crafted.
2. Assisting firms with a review of their strategic systems and structures, to benchmark these against emerging "best practice." This sometimes takes the form of a longer term, more cost-effective retainer to effect incremental improvement over time, rather than a once-off engagement where impetus may be lost soon after.
3. Facilitation of retreats and workshops on a wide range of topics. Each retreat is obviously tailored to the specific requirements of each firm
4. Analysis and measurement of a firm's culture, assessment of its compatibility with strategy, and assistance in proactively evolving it in a desired direction. I have a particular interest in firms with multi-faceted or otherwise complex cultures, e.g. multi-national or multi-lingual firms.
5.Merger counsel, especially post-merger integration and joint strategy crafting
6.Coaching of strategists and other leaders
