Winston & Strawn and CRM: "Brute Force Isn't an Option"
Does "Customer Relationship Management" (CRM) mean buying tables at the right benefit dinners? At Winston & Strawn, it means adopting a CRM IT system.
How on earth to get lawyers to actually use it? Install it, make its availability known, and let word of mouth do its magic. At W&S, the CRM system was used by 10% of lawyers a year ago and by one-third of the firm today; "no one wants to be left behind." Sounds to me like an effective motivator for Type A's.
