10% More Profit: 10 Practice Management Basics to Increase Net Profit

10 ways to increase profit without increasing chargeout rates, billable targets or getting new clients.

Event	10% More Profit: 10 Practice Management Basics to Increase Net Profit
Date	Tuesday, 12 March 2019
Start Time	12.30pm AWST
End Time	2.00pm AWST
Event Location	Perth
Host Venue Details	Macquarie Bank, Ground Floor Conference Room, 235 St Georges Terrace Perth
Regional Hubs	If you are unable to attend at the host location you can join local members at 18+ regional hubs across Australia and New Zealand or participate online from your desktop.
Event Overview	Cathryn Urquhart has been facilitating at the College of Law Legal Practice Management Course since August 2016. She has reviewed Business Plans and co-ordinated or delivered the workshops for attendees. One thing is clear: when Principals focus on increasing profitability, they look at the obvious: getting new clients, increasing chargeout rates and/or billable hours, reducing expenses. Or think that a shiny new piece of technology will deliver a miracle of increased profits. Whilst these things are important, there are many proven strategies that are often overlooked. Review billing arrangements. Get on top of email Improve delegation Get the lawyer to legal support ratio right Have quality practice management software, know how to use it and have all staff use it Debrief Apply 80/20 rule to clients Apply 80/20 rule to staff Track staff retention rates and work on reducing turnover Improve time management skills. Even if a 1% profit improvement could be achieved by implementing each one of these 10 things, that equates to a 10% total profit improvement overall. And most of these things don’t take extra time or money. It’s just about working smarter.

Presented By Angela Smith \| Founder & Facilitator & Senior Associate \| Collective Intelligence Having learned how to survive and thrive in high energy, high-stress environments, Angela supports professionals to balance being committed without being consumed, burned-out and disengaged. Through her own experience as a former Senior Communications Advisor to several Victoria Government ministers as well as to a number of Canadian diplomats, Angela has the lived experience of how a professional’s personal wellbeing distinctly impacts competence, overall wellbeing and a company’s bottom line. With mindfulness practices at its foundation, Angela created the Wellness Warrior Resilience Program. Mindful Meditation is a practice that can enhance cognitive reframing (and thus resilience) by aiding one’s ability to be aware of thoughts and emotions without becoming attached and overwhelmed. Angela’s programs draw on the mindfulness practices of Eastern philosophies, which she has studied for more than three decades. And, having had the practice of yoga in her life for more than 40 years, Angela is also a qualified Hatha Yoga teacher, as recognised by Yoga Australia. With an easy-going manner, Angela shares simple yet profound mindfulness philosophies and practices in ways that are relatable and relevant to each individual. She shares more than 30 years of experience with these practices through public as well as one-on-one sessions, retreats and corporate wellness programs – all of which are personally enlightening, informative and most of all, enjoyable.

Is Employee Experience the New Black?

Event	Is Employee Experience the New Black?
Date	Wednesday 15 May 2019
Start Time	12.30pm AEST
End Time	2.00pm AEST
Event Location	Brisbane
Host Venue Details	Kindly hosted by Alliance Partner, Queensland Law Society, Level 2, 179 Ann Street, Brisbane
Regional Hubs	If you are unable to attend at the host location you can join local members at 18+ regional hubs across Australia and New Zealand or participate online from your desktop.
Event Overview	The Australian Bureau of Statistics recently reported that Australia now has more open roles than ever recorded. Competition for quality candidates is fierce, which means that your ability to hire the right employees - and then retain them once you have them - is more important than ever. This is especially difficult in an industry that is being as disrupted as the legal profession. Until recently the main lever that organisations have used to measure and increase employee motivation and retention was employee engagement. Unfortunately, this strategy has clearly failed since Australian engagement rates have recently tracked down from an already abysmally low 15% to a shocking 13%. As organisations increasingly look for alternatives to employee engagement surveys and programs one of the hottest topics making its way around business leadership and HR circles is Employee Experience (EX). Can Employee Experience succeed where employee engagement has failed? Will looking at Employee Experience provide the same benefits many firms have realised as a result of looking at their customer experience? Please join us at our May meeting when Kim Seeling Smith, CEO of Ignite Global and author of The 2018 Employee Experience Report: The value of employee experience in Australian workplaces will lead a fast-paced, informative, funny and ultimately practical discussion to help you unpack EX and decide if it’s something that will help you hire and retain the people your firm needs to thrive during this age of disruption. Learn and discuss: What Employee Experience is (and isn’t) Why EX differs from employee engagement and broader culture initiatives The direct link between Employee Experience and Customer Experience - leading to a better bottom line for you How to use EX to implement immediate no to low-cost strategies to make a tangible impact on your business today Every attendee will receive a hard copy of the 2018 report - 60 pages of stats, case studies and quotes by organisations who have begun their own EX journey.
