Strategic Planning and Alignment
In law firms, strategic planning is less about setting goals and more about agreeing on direction. It requires partners and leaders to make real choices and align around priorities in a complex, consensus-driven environment.
I work with law firm leadership teams to facilitate strategic planning and alignment during moments that matter most. This includes firmwide planning cycles, practice or department strategy, and leadership transitions where shared direction and cohesion are essential.
This work is not about producing a plan for the sake of a document. It is about shaping direction together. I design and facilitate the conversations that surface different perspectives, support sound decision-making, and help leaders align around priorities that guide the firm beyond the planning process.
When strategy is approached this way, direction becomes clearer, alignment strengthens across leadership, and decisions are more likely to hold as the firm moves forward.
