Strategic Planning: Why a Plan Is Needed and How to Develop One

sponsored by huron consulting group

This InfoPAK will discuss why a strategic plan is needed and how to develop one. Historically, the Law Department has been viewed solely as a cost center. By developing and implementing a strategic plan, the Law Department can begin to minimize this perception and move towards the view of it as a value-add center. The development of a proactive strategic approach enables the Law Department to provide services that not only support but advance the overall corporate strategy and goals.
