The Problem
You have been asked to produce a transformation plan for your legal department.
Related challenges include:
- you have not written a department transformation plan before
- preparing a transformation plan can be a huge undertaking, but your board wants it tomorrow
- you do not have budget to bring in a “transformation consultant” to prepare a plan for you
- most legal teams are too busy to find the time to plan their transformation
- you do not have examples of transformation plans to give you a starting point
- you are unsure as to how to define, capture and plan for the transformation interventions you must make
- you face pressure to demonstrate measurable performance & transformation
- you have seen previous transformation initiatives fail / underwhelm
- preparing this plan comes on top of your already busy “day job”
Wouldn’t it be great if you could access a turn-key and cost-effective transformation plan template that could help you define and deliver a robust departmental transformation plan?
