Ross Dawson's Seven MegaTrends of Professional Services
Posted February 26, 2006 9:53 PM
Ross Dawson shot me a link to his white paper on The Seven MegaTrends of Professional Services [pdf] which is available for free via his site (no reg req).
He's also serializing them on his blog:
- MegaTrend 1: Client Sophistication: The downside of increasing client sophistication is that you can’t fleece your clients, and you can’t survive your whole career on what you learned in college.
- MegaTrend 2: Governance: However in a world in which regulators, investors, and media commentators are keenly seeking potential transgressions, few companies are prepared to test the boundaries.
- MegaTrend 3: Connectivity:
- MegaTrend 4: Transparency
- MegaTrend 5: Modularization
- MegaTrend 6: Globalization
- MegaTrend 7: Commoditization
Definitely worth reading for lawyers and professionals whose job is connecting with clients and general counsel.
