The Knowledge Business

I am Helene Russell of The Knowledge Business. I help professional services and knowledge intensive firms to improve their effectiveness and profitability by improving their knowledge capabilities through training and knowledge management services. I write very practical textbooks and offer 3 types of training: open sessions in London, knowledge-sharing groups and bespoke in-house training. I also coach people through new knowledge projects and offer advice/consultancy. I also give a lot of knowledge away via my blog and website. https://knowledge4lawyers.wordpress.com/2017/04/27/your-knowledge-vision/ Why should you care about your and your law firm's knowledge capabilities- Increased efficiency – reusing know-how created elsewhere in the firm and not ‘reinventing the wheel’- Improved quality of information – up-to-date, consistent and technically correct know-how is essential for avoiding risk in legal business as well as developing a firm’s reputation and brand- Preservation of the firm’s knowledge – mitigating the problem of lawyers taking their individual skills and knowledge with them when they leave the firm- Skill-sharing – pooled knowledge resources enabling senior lawyers to delegate more to junior lawyers, enabling senior lawyers to concentrate on higher value work or practice-development activities;
