Description:
The holy grail of our
profession is providing training that sticks.
Finding cost- and
staffing-effective ways to make that happen is one of our great challenges,
which is why developing internal accountability groups can be a powerful
solution.
Not only can well-designed accountability,
or cohort groups drive greater implementation and deeper learning, but they
also have the added benefits of:
·
Orchestrating
more lawyer-to-lawyer connections in a hybrid world.
·
Enhancing
retention by creating closer bonds within peer groups.
·
Increasing
cross-selling by enhancing the “know, like and trust” factor between lawyers
who might not otherwise be connected.
In this one-hour webinar, PDC Trusted Advisor David H.
Freeman, J.D. and Dr. Sharon Meit Abrahams will facilitate a communal learning
experience by engaging the attendees in a group discussion on best practices in
designing and administering cohort groups for various populations and purposes
in a firm.
Participants will leave with:
·
A deeper understanding
of why cohort groups should be considered as part of certain training programs.
·
Greater knowledge
of what to avoid when implementing such programs.
·
Specific techniques
for designing and implementing effective groups.
David will collect the
results of this group brainstorming session into a report to distribute to PDC
members, and as an additional bonus, one lucky attendee will receive David’s
new online business development course, Lawyer
BookBuilder, which they can gift to a
budding rainmaker in their firm.
