Session Description:
What tools and metrics, familiar to business leaders, can General Counsels employ to gauge their Department's performance and garner broader support within the company?
To be sure, much of what in-house lawyers do cannot be neatly measured. That said, business leaders have clear accountability for delivering financial results. In that environment, General Counsels who embrace the langauge and metrics of the business world - dashboards, monthly financial reports, client surveys and benchmarking - stand a better chance of having their Department's work appreciated and their budgets approved.
