Why Business Intelligence FailsFailure to recognize the breadth of the
problem (not just financial system)No Top Down supportLack of standardize procedures or
processesBad quality of information – Dirty DataComputer systems impede rather
than enhance BI efforts

Delivery Challenges - Firm Commitment
• True or False – All lawyers in the firm embrace new technology.
• To encourage buy-in for the new technology we:
• Involved key lawyers in the requirements phase
• Launched HandShake with a live demo
• Required lawyers to attend a one-hour basic functionality training session
• Certified Training for CLE credits where allowed
• Supported champions of the technology in their efforts to “Spread the Gospel”
• Surveyed users to see where to focus training and how to improve usability

Delivery Challenges - Data Integrity
• Data, Data, Data• Cleansing Data• “Hidden” Financial Information – EXPOSED!• New Fields and Relationships• Maintenance of Contact Information
• Not a Project but a Way of Life
![Page 25: 2009-09 Business Intelligence](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033009/577cc6df1a28aba7119f6006/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Delivery Challenges - Training• Can you have too much of a good thing?
• Integration, Sorting, Filtering, Exporting, Drilling Down, Exploring, Customization, and Learning about Financials can be Overwhelming and Intimidating
• Re-focused Training from generic navigation into granular “Areas of Interest” requested in surveys
• Teach in Small Chunks• Teach skills with a deliverable as a by product of the training
session.• “Low tech” lawyers started attending training – felt comfortable
pointing and clicking to get on-demand information• Increased demand for “related” training
• Exporting HS data to Excel created demand for Excel training

Delivery Challenges - Best Practices• True or False – All lawyers in the Firm endorse the
“common good” theory. What is good for the Firm is good for me. • Firm Culture – To Share or Not To Share
• Private or Public• New Business Compensation Factor
• I knew him first• Contact Responsible Attorney or Contact Clerk?• New Rules - Cross Selling
• Contact Change Auditing
