What Law Firms are Saying About Our Services
I seriously don’t know how we would have done this without you.

Strategic Growth Intensive
A Use Case:
Enhancing Interoffice
Communication
The Situation
Sarah, leader of the employment practice group, is frustrated when she learned that employment work for an existing client of an attorney in a different office was referred out of the firm.
The Strategic Growth Intensive Solution
Practice group leaders meet with a facilitator for a workshop. Together, the attorneys identify the major barriers to interoffice/intergroup communications. They generate many potential solutions and decide which ones will have the greatest impact and require minimal resources to implement. The leaders agree on how they will start implementing those ideas and agree to meet again in six weeks to see if their solution worked and decide what to try next.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Strategic Growth Intensive?
A Strategic Growth Intensive is a tailored workshop designed for law firm leaders who want to align on strategic priorities, identify growth opportunities, and address challenges facing their firm. What sets these workshops apart is that attorneys will leave knowing exactly what they need to do, when they need to do it, and why they are doing it.
Isn't a Strategic Growth Intensive just another (useless) meeting?
No! We developed our intensives to avoid the common pitfalls of traditional self-led meetings. These workshops are led by a trained facilitator who understands group dynamics and knows how to guide groups through the “messy middle” of decision-making and problem-solving. Make decisions and solve big problems fast.
How do we get started with a Strategic Growth Intensive?
Getting started is easy! Simply click on the button below and schedule a call with Katherine. We’ll discuss your firm’s goals, review options for timing and format, and tailor a Strategic Growth Intensive to meet your law firm’s specific needs.
Who should participate in a Strategic Growth Intensive?
Strategic Growth Intensives are designed for executive committees and practice groups, and they can also work for other law firm teams. The ideal group size is 7 participants but anywhere from 5-12 works. For larger groups, we recommend multiple workshops with everyone coming together at the end. The format is highly customizable and we will design a plan just for your firm.
Do you offer firm retreat sessions?
Absolutely! In fact, we think a retreat is the perfect time for a Strategic Growth Intensive. All your law firm leaders are there, it’s a time for thinking “big picture,” and the less formal atmosphere encourages open communication and creativity. Just let us know when we should book our flights and we’ll show up with our sharpies, sticky notes, and voting dots!
