Your advice is (in many respects) universal and could usefully be applied to a variety of sub-optimal relationships. Picking up on Neil's initial post and subsequent comments here, I wonder if there are particular issues relating to law firm IT that KM folks should be aware of? If so, how do we deal with those issues productively? - Mary Mark -

]]> Comment on With a little help from my friends by Neil Richards http://blog.tarn.org/2008/10/20/with-a-little-help-from-my-friends/#comment-111 Neil Richards Mon, 20 Oct 2008 22:43:44 +0000 http://innominate.wordpress.com/?p=127#comment-111 Great article Mark. Some further thoughts on why IT projects in banks vs lawfirms. The difference in execution has nothing to do with IT and more to do with their respective environments. For example, in my experience, law firms have a much higher preference towards lengthy consultation processes, and, in an effort to appease everybody, runs too many projects. The unfortunate IT teams are then unable to keep their clients happy as they're under-resourced. To their internal clients this feels like poor service. My experience of banks? Aggressive & narrow focus on one or two projects. Get them done and move on to the next thing. I feel the late Peter Drucker puts it best: "The areas of greatest potential for opportunity and results are to be given the fullest resource support - in quantity and quality - before the next promising area gets anything." Great article Mark.
