"... it is clear from my research and discussions with clients over the past few years that they are increasingly encouraging law firms in a rightwards direction [on the illustration]. This is partly for financial reasons. ... Why pay for the wheel to be reinvented?

But clients are also attracted to the right because of the promise of better performance by their advisers. With more formal organisation of procedures, knowledge and expertise, gathered on a collective basis from across a firm, this should bring greater quality, consistency and speed of turnaround. This is the essence of effective knowledge management."
