What Does KM Mean for Law Firms?
One of the biggest myths about knowledge management is that it is a spanking new methodology to help organizations gain more advantage in the new economy. It’s not. Knowledge management, and knowledge work, have always been with us. To manage at all, is to manage knowledge, in the sense that the manager must use information, collaboration and the application of her own acquired experience in making good decisions. And lawyers, above all, know how to manage their knowledge. From the Code of Hammurabi almost four thousand years ago to modern law reports and Lexis-Nexis, the practice of law has been a practice of knowledge, requiring accurate, effective and objective use of information.
