Developing a Thriving Client Team Program

By Mark Thompson
September 29, 2006

Get yourself comfortable and spend a few moments with a fellow warrior in the battle to build and maintain a thriving law firm client team program. Thrive is used purposely to emphasize a point. Programs and initiatives come and go, often without meaningful impact, but to thrive is to make steady progress. To prosper, flourish, and grow vigorously (courtesy of dictionary.com, for this purpose). Client teams need to thrive to succeed because anything less will not produce the revenue and relationship goals the program promises to deliver. Success will depend on continuous support from many sources, motivated teaming, rigorous processes and probably fundamental cultural change. That would be tough enough if it was the absolute top priority of any business. Would you be surprised to learn that client teams have not yet reached this exalted status in most law firms?

This article highlights the importance of continuous support ' the 'nourishment' needed by client teams.
