Are You Getting the RPM out of KM to Keep You Out of ICU?

This session offered at the 4th Annual CBA Law Firm Leadership Conference is descried like this: 

Clients demand excellent quality at a good price – and they don’t pay firms to reinvent the wheel. In response, the most successful law firms are leveraging their accumulated knowledge, moving beyond just capturing precedents. Where it once might have been enough to manage "convenience" technology such as PCs, cell phones, PDAs, the web and the Internet, successful firms recognize that in order to remain competitive today, they have to make substantial investments (and earn a return) on putting their knowledge to work for clients.

Our panel of experts will provide insights on how you can implement Knowledge Management (KM) effectively, with advice on the role of technology and work culture in maximizing the benefits of KM. Two leading law firm KM experts – Michael Mills, of Davis Polk Wardell (New York, NY), and Jeff Rovner, of O'Melveny Meyers (Newport Beach, CA) – will share their insights. Joining them to provide the perspective of a Canadian firm that has successfully implemented a targeted KM project will be F.J.F (Frank) Quinn, of Bilkey Quinn (Kamloops, BC), which has transformed an entire practice area for the benefit of a key client (Royal Bank of Canada).

When? November 2-4, 2008
