Next week begins a ten-day deep dive into the world of law firm operations and strategy for me at George Washington University (GWU). Hildebrandt Institute has a strategic partnership with GWU and offers a certificate or a masters degree in law firm management. I view this as an opportunity to continue learning from the academic side to compare that which I learn from my consulting and client opportunities every day. One of the books I'm reading in preparation for the University is Stephen Mayson's "Law Firm Strategy: Competitive Advantage and Valuation." When I began reading it I thought, "Ugh, another strategy book." But, quickly found that Mayson has a keen vision of what's happening and what's about to happen in the legal industry. I highly recommend it to anyone who is involved with law firm leadership or law firm strategy--we'll see if he was right when we look back from 2012 or so; but I suspect he's onto something. Change is about to hasten the industry's need to tighten up.

Both GWU and Hildebrandt are very good institutes if you want to learn more about law. My degree also came from there. As an attorney, we should keep learning, since a lot of thing already change. If we are not ready for the change, we will lost in competition. Keep learning and keep the good work.
