but even some the most successful firms are struggling with the challenge, hindered by retiring partners who struggle to let go and turn over the reins to future leaders.

today firms are trying to figure out is how to work and communicate in the changing landscape – with both staff and clients. firm leaders must figure out how to manage people and deliver work with the rise in:

  • flexible work arrangements,
  • the appeal of the “gig” economy that creates project-based learning and experiences, and
  • the technology explosion and apps available to conduct work and communicate with team members and clients.

firms that figure out how to navigate this changing landscape will attract and retain top talent, appeal to new clients and help firms grow.
