“Lean” has been a manufacturing buzz word for decades. Law firms, however, have been slow to adopt this proven management technique, but in the past few years, some savvy practice managers have been introducing the lean philosophy to their law firms. Lisa Pansini, writing in LegalProductivity.com, recommends putting these three lean ideas into practice to improve efficiency, increase output, and reduce the cost of repetitive actions.
- Assume nothing – You may think you know what your clients value, but if you don’t ask them first, you’ll find yourself wasting time on services your clients didn’t ask for or need.
- Track your projects – Productivity increases exponentially when you focus on the task at hand, and a kanban board organized into to-do, in-process, and finished tasks keeps you on target.
- Speak up – The firm’s culture should encourage suggestions that challenge the status quo and lead to continuous improvement.
By their very nature, law firms are conservative and tend to cling to old ways of doing things. But as a wise teacher once said, “Change is slow. Change is inevitable.” Taking small, consistent steps toward lean management will ultimately yield greater productivity.

Here in America we have a deep appreciation for the men and women who keep our country safe. Funds raised at the recent IFMA Capital Chapter annual golf tournament benefited the Willing Warriors, an organization supporting our wounded warriors in their recuperation. National Office Systems was honored to sponsor the first hole of the tournament, complete with a fund-raising raffle and cigar bar. The lucky raffle winner: Marlene Gardner from FurnitureSpeak. NOS’ own Jon LeSage, a PGA pro in his off hours, provided free putting lessons before the tournament, while Joe Alvarez and Chris Montgomery of NOS teamed up with business partners Carl Couey and Mike Brennan to bring home the tournament trophy. Far more important, however, was the support given to the Willing Warriors. Where else can you join in fellowship with industry colleagues to experience the team-building value of athletics, amid the beauty of a spring day on a world-class golf course, AND raise money to assist our nation’s finest? Is this a great country or what?

Massachusetts-based MD10 has been testing RFID temporary “tattoos” that detect various illness and monitor health conditions, sending data to healthcare professionals via a tiny built-in antenna. As reported in 21st Century Wire, first responders can scan an injured person’s RFID tattoo for allergies or medical conditions before administering medications. Doctors can be alerted to a patient’s impending heart attack hours before onset. The potential for improved healthcare is tremendous.
But wait, there’s more: these flat RFID tattoos, called Biostamps, can also store passwords. The Biostamp communicates with the user’s mobile phone to authenticate the user’s identity. At the D11 conference, Motorola announced an initiative that would incorporate Biostamps into mobile phone and tablet authentication, adding a high degree of security to e-devices and cloud-based apps. It’s yet another application of RFID that began with inventory storage and tracking, and we’re proud to be leaders in RFID technology.
