Curriculum

The Learning Model

Case studies, lectures, classroom discussions, and small group discussions focused on professional service firms afford participants the opportunity to deliberate on the determinants of sustained firm success.

Case studies on law firms and other professional service firms give participants exposure to real-world issues and help them work through possible approaches and solutions to the problems that professional service firm leaders confront. Participants practice making decisions about challenging real-life management problems in professional service settings.

Topics

The program offers participants perspective, concepts, management tools, and skills to help them be more effective as law firm leaders. It is designed to sharpen the leadership skills of professionals who have executive responsibilities in law firms by exploring with them the topics of strategy in law firms, organizational alignment, practice economics and segmentation, motivation of professionals, compensation, managing the producer-manager dilemma, nurturing an inclusive work environment, leading change in a law firm, and effective leadership.

“The "tried and true" case study method once again proved to be an excellent teaching approach to understanding and navigating complex management and leadership issues. The faculty did an exceptional job at applying case study scenarios to contemporary issues we all are facing in today's law firms.

The case study scenarios hit so close to home, I suspected the faculty had been conducting a covert surveillance program at our firm for the past 2 years.”
