The Art and Science of Strategic Talent Management in Law Firms | |
| Terri Mottershead, General Editor With chapters contributed by Susan Manch and Marcia Pennington Shannon |
||
| The legal industry is undergoing a paradigm shift. At the core of this change is how law firms manage their talent. 'Random acts of training' and the discovery of top talent by good luck have given way to competency models that provide a blueprint for individual and firm success through planned investment in recruitment, training, career planning and advising, evaluation, compensation, promotion, diversity, inclusion and succession planning. In the new paradigm, this investment is the strategic imperative for law firms because they must effectively and efficiently deploy a highly skilled, focused, motivated and engaged workforce if they are to succeed. Firms are 'connecting the dots' between the pipeline of client work and the pipeline of talent ready, willing and able to deliver the work in a way that differentiates the firm, is true to its values, and exceeds client expectations.
