08 Rebecca Price | Your People Matter - Now more than ever!

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 49:50

Employer Brand - is there a more important strategic imperative in 2024?

In this episode Rebecca Price, strategy partner, co-founder and co-owner of Frank Bright & Abel, a creative communications consultancy, that specialises in B2B and works extensively across the legal sector, talks to co-hosts Rob Otty and Jonathan Otty about the importance of getting your Employer Brand right. Employer Brand has never been more important - done right, it provides a huge advantage in your recruitment and retention of the best talent and in delivering commercial success. Employer brand is not a "soft" issue - indeed there can be no more "hard" strategic issue for companies and law firms to get right. As the pace of change gets ever faster, and as generational differences become an increasing feature within organisations, a well defined Employer Brand creates both strategic advantage and the institutional "glue" that allows your business to adapt, flex and continue to succeed.

Rebecca shares her years of experience and learnings from multiple sectors, with a special focus on the legal sector. This episode is a must-listen for not only leaders, but all partners and team members who have an interest ensuring the success of their firm. It is the second in a two part conversation with Rebecca and reinforces the important link between external brand, which was covered in the previous episode, and Employer Brand. Strategic advice and guidance of the highest calibre from a leader in her field.

07 Cognitive Dissonance | What Law Firms battle to Change.

Monday, April 22, 2024 • Duration 42:07

Cognitive Dissonance, Hubris, Scepticism and other blockers to change.

Join us as we explore the concept of cognitive dissonance within the legal industry, where firms recognise the need for change but remain rooted in traditional practices and the billable hour model.

We discuss the tension between understanding the need to adapt and being entrenched in models that have historically guaranteed profitability, drawing parallels with the case of Kodak's failure to capitalise on digital innovation.

We look at the underlying commercial unit of measurement that constrains law firms, the internal barriers to change, how the legal sector is a vast ecosystem of vested interests that mean now, more than ever, law firm managers need to carefully review the advice they are receiving, and how law firms are increasingly facing the risk of finding themselves misaligned with their clients expectations.

Finally we look at the tremendous opportunities that present to traditional law firms to adapt and innovate to not only protect their position of dominance, but thrive in the new world of technologically enabled legal service.

06 Rebecca Price | Make your Brand count. And Why it Does.

Friday, April 5, 2024 • Duration 40:42

Now, more than ever, Brand is essential to law firms and PSFs.

Now more than ever, a brand that resonates with your clients and your people is crucial to your success as a law firm.

Our guest, Rebecca Price is strategy partner, co-founder and co-owner of Frank Bright & Abel – a creative communications consultancy, that specialises in B2B and works extensively across the legal sector. A brand, employer brand, marketing and communications specialist, she’s a consultant with over 30 years’ experience. Rebecca is driven by a belief that great results are driven by simplicity, authenticity and a firm connection to the strategic intent of a firm.

Our discussion with Rebecca is a must listen for anyone interested in professional services and brand. We cover aspects of brand strategy, including the definition of brand, its importance for professional service firms, and how to effectively leverage brand to differentiate and stand out in a competitive market. Brand encompasses how an organisation positions itself in the market, what it stands for, how it behaves, the language it uses, and its visual expression. For law firms, brand is crucial in differentiating themselves from competitors who often offer similar services. Brand should be truthful and reflect the firm's aspirations, not be just spin. It needs to be authentic and align with the firm's strategic plan; Employer brand is equally important, ensuring that employees believe in and embody the brand - crucial for attracting and retaining talent. When expanding into new jurisdictions with different values, firms should be transparent about their reasons and strive to uphold their principles as much as possible. Developing a strong brand requires input from various stakeholders, including clients, employees at all levels, and external parties like recruiters, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the firm's strengths and perceptions.

05 Louanne Buckley | Business-minded marketing. The value of a strategic CMO.

Monday, March 25, 2024 • Duration 40:47

A business-minded, strategic CMO is a must for professional service firms

How to modernise your approach to clients and ensure that you remain relevant. A must listen for all law firm, professional service partners, CMOs and everyone interested in professional service marketing and positioning. Partners - empower your skilled non-lawyer leaders and reap the benefits. CMOs - be business-minded and strategic first and then apply the marketing, comms and brand expertise. Each respecting and working to your strengths, you can make a difference and deliver success. Now, possibly more than ever before, the role of a strategic, business-minded CMO is key to the success of a professional service firm. But this does mean partners should remember that they are not marketing and comms experts and that the CMO role is NOT about booking golf days, completing directory submissions and saying "yes" to every partner idea!

A trusted advisor to CEOs and Boards, our guest, Louanne Buckley has extensive experience in marketing and communications across global Fortune 500 companies and professional services firms, driving strategic transformations, increasing revenues, and enhancing brand loyalty. She has directed multi-national corporations like HP through turnarounds, splits and spin-mergers to the transformation of PwC’s go-to-market in Canada and then most recently Norton Rose Fulbright. Passionate about giving back to the community, Louanne has served as a Board Director for several organizations with a focus on healthcare and gender diversity.

03 Is the Billable Hour dead?

Monday, March 4, 2024 • Duration 34:44

After generations, has the Billable Hour finally met its match?

In this episode we discuss one of the most debated topics in the Professional Service Sector - the Billable Hour. For generations, the Billable Hour has dictated and underpinned the PSF commercial model. No element of the commercial model has more influence than the Billable Hour.

With the advent of very visible, technology driven, efficiencies, can the Billable Hour survive as the principle method for pricing services? Can Professional Service Firms change the model without severe adverse impacts - particularly if they have significant, long-term, fixed cost bases?

We explore some options available to PSFs and why we don't believe any PSF can delay starting to explore alternative pricing and commercial models. PSF partners and leaders can see what is coming. They should not miscalculate the time they have to start adapting or the amount of time they have to do so.
