Project Management and Process Excellence

Breakfast: 9:00 - 9:30 a.m.
Presentation: 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.

With the evolution of the digital enterprise, laws firms and legal departments need to revisit their workflows, projects and static business processes in order to streamline, analyze, speed up and make sense of client demands and information. Globalization, mobilization and social media have introduced new forms of competition in the legal industry and changed the way firms need to communicate and operate. The challenge is to analyze what is happening in real-time with your employees, with your clients and within your practices. Static business processes are no longer effective, and firms have a commitment to extract this information to provide cost-effective solutions to clients.

Come join Kraft & Kennedy's Project Management Team as we explore how to elevate your firm to the next level to compete in a global market by applying strategic project management and process improvement principles, utilizing the latest project management tools to achieve excellence.

Before you do, how about completing a short survey? Your pre-meeting input will help fuel the discussion.
