Some of the many ways to drive value supported
by the ACCValue Challenge include:
• Using Value-Based Fees (i.e. not based solely on the
billable hour) to align firm/client relationships around
key objectives;
• Strategically Allocating Work, considering the most
appropriate use of internal and external resources;
• Employing Project Management to effectively
define scope and set budgets that stick;
• Identifying and eliminating inefficiencies through
Process Improvement tools and techniques
• Deploying Technology to harness data and support
procedures to control spending; and
• Using Knowledge Management systems to avoid
“re-inventing the wheel.”
We invite you to take the ACC Value
Challenge. Set targets and employ
management practices to:
• Reduce spending;
• Improve predictability of spending, and
• Achieve better legal outcomes
