\nrosenberg map survey<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

a major trend in 2016 that continued throughout 2017 is that there are too many trends for firm leaders to focus on!<\/p>\n

this often leaves many firm leaders overwhelmed and unsure where to spend their time and resources. here are my top three:<\/p>\n

1. while attracting, retaining and developing top talent continues to be a top issue, firms that are winning the people race have worked to ensure a unified partner group.
\n
\nfirm leaders are working on governance that empowers their managing partners, service line leaders and partners, and finding ways to empower their people to own more sooner in their firms. creating this kind of unified approach and true empowerment creates a solid foundation for implementing new or enhanced people programs, such as unlimited or open pto programs, dress for your day, true anytime\/anywhere work environments, workflow and efficiency programs and more.<\/p>\n

  2. 2017 is half over. based on your experiences this year, what are you seeing? what are the major trends? what are firms struggling with and what are they working on as the year progresses?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2. technology is fast moving to surpass the people challenges. technology has to be on all firm leaders\u2019 radars as a top priority. process improvement tools and apps, artificial intelligence, blockchain, data analytics and more will change the way firms deploy and develop talent as well as the kind of talent firms should be hiring. and ensuring firms have the right-level it director who is strategic and can lead the firm where it needs to be \u2013 now and in the future \u2013 is essential for firms\u2019 long-term success.<\/p>\n

    3. partner retirements continue at a fast clip even though we continue to see a trend of partners extending their retirement dates. this can hamper future leaders\u2019 views about their opportunity for future ownership and is compounded by partners resisting letting go of<\/p>\n
