Don\u2019t take for granted any \u201cnormal\u201d aspect \u2014 positive, negative, or neutral \u2014 of how your law firm looks and behaves, how it\u2019s constituted, who it serves, who works there, how it creates value, how it competes, how it makes money.

You can\u2019t conduct effective strategic planning or future-proofing for your firm unless you first shake yourself loose of every conventional \u201cfact\u201d about what law firms are, what they\u2019re for, and how they operate.
