Returning With A New Name

I'm back! At the end of 2009, I ended an 18 month consulting job with a regional law firm. I had been working with them, part as outside consultant and then as an employee, to help their business run better. It was a case study in turning around a company.

When I started in June 2008, there was a lot of work to be done. Clients had to be billed. Office policies had to be put into place. Vendor relationships had to be properly established, including some re-negotiations on existing contacts. Company visions had to be developed. Human Resources files had to be created. Technology solutions had to be evaluated, investigated, and improved. All the while, the practice of law had to continue. It is a litigation firm, after all, and the courts wait for no one. So for 18 months, I worked with the partners (the make-up of which changed over time) to make the business run. By the end of 2009, the firm was a different beast than when we started.

With that consulting beast tamed and running better than ever, I am able to expand my pursuits to more businesses. As part of that, I am re-launching this blog as a FREE resource to all those business owners and managers out there that can benefit from my continuing experiences and knowledge.

So, here's to a successful 2010 for all the small businesses out there!
