Adam Smith, Esq. looks at the interesting concept of having a law firm Chief Strategy Officer. I've watched the explosive growth of
Reed Smith from its days when I graduated from law school. At that time Reed Smith was basically a Pittsburgh based law firm. Under the leadership of
Greg Jordan (a fellow
Bethany College grad) the law firm moved into the upper ranks of the AmLaw 100.
To create a vision for your company or law firm you have to have a strategy and work toward reaching goals everyday. So often law firms and other businesses are too concerned with the present to think about the future, developing a strategy and doing something everyday to implement the strategy. The same applies to successful hospitals and health care providers.
