Alternatives to PPP: The Word from London
As many of you know, back in November I was in London for a week. Among other activities—many other activities—I was pleased to be invited to participate in a panel discussion hosted by Guy Beringer of Allen & Overy, who was on the panel, along with his partner Stephen Denyer, Quentin Poole of Wragge & Co., and John Kelly of Bridge Consulting.
The purpose of the panel, attended by nearly 150 people, was to discuss alternative measures of law firm performance: Specifically, alternatives to the almighty Profits per Partner.
I was recently asked to convert my presentation to the form of a paper, presumably to be circulated through some appropriate medium along with my fellow panelists' contributions, and it occurred to me you might find it of interest.
If so, here it is.
Cheerio.
