Firm of the Future Symposium
On August 9-10 in San Francisco, Ron Baker and I will once again be presenting our Firm of the Future Symposium sponsored by Sage North America.This symposium will be dedicated to the possibility that a professional organization can be run more effectively when it becomes a knowledge firm rather than a service firm. Creating such an organization is hard work and not for everyone as it requires professionals to think differently than they have in the past about what it is that they do.Objectives
- From a focus on revenue to a focus on profit
- From a focus on capacity to a focus on capital management
- From a focus on efficiency to a focus on effectiveness
- From a focus on cost-plus pricing to a focus on pricing on purpose

One of the more interesting stories to emerge from our previous FotFS, was that of Peter Coburn of Commercial Logic. They are publishers of, you guessed it, time and billing software. Peter underwent a conversion of sorts and posted a terrific article on it.
