When you're trying to improve something in your law practice, starting at the beginning might seem like the obvious approach. But I've found that working backward from the outcome you're trying to achieve can be a much more effective way to think about everything from daily workflows to long-term strategy.

In this episode, I'm exploring a concept from Mike Burrows' book Right to Left and how I've applied it in my work with law firms. You'll learn why focusing on the end result can help you make better decisions about where to direct your team's attention, how to approach process improvement, and how to engage clients in their own legal matters.

In this episode, I revisit my earlier look at the roots of the lawyer shortage to see what's changed. I also explain why investing in your existing people, improving your processes, and making better use of your technology can help your firm increase capacity and throughput while continuing to deliver value to clients.
