The Practice Diagnostic
A critical first step in deciding about the kind of practice management help you may need is to complete the Practice Diagnostic. We will email or fax the 120 question diagnostic to you (it takes about 15 minutes to complete) and schedule a convenient one-hour phone interview to debrief it. We will then give you specific, practical recommendations for your next steps including, if appropriate, an Atticus program that will fit your needs. The fee for the diagnostic is rolled into a coaching program should you choose to pursue it.
The diagnostic is conducted in two parts and is designed to provide the attorney insights into their personal style and their practice. Both parts take a total of about 30 minutes for the attorney to complete. A one-hour telephone consulting session is scheduled to review the results. Every diagnostic is conducted by a highly trained member of the Atticus team.
The first part consists of a DISC personality profile, which provides key insights to the attorney into their behavioral personality preferences and styles. Our clients are briefed on how their personalities will help shape their marketing activities, interact with staff issues, and impact their change efforts in their lives and practice. These insights help the client be more aware of how they influence their surroundings and how to better handle the situations they deal with.
The second part of the diagnostic is the practice portion, which is broken into four categories. We help the lawyer assess key areas of the firm: cash flow, staffing, time management, and client development. Each of these systems needs to be in place and functioning for the firm to be in a position to serve the needs of the attorney. The systems are analyzed incorporating the perceptions of the attorney and we assess the attitude toward the system and the functioning of that system. The discussions are very candid and often involve recommendations to the client to provide immediate help in a problem area. If appropriate, clients are guided to other resources from articles to seminars. The diagnostic is the perfect instrument to determine a baseline and decide on what actions are required to achieve the results of decreasing stress, increasing income, and working fewer hours.
Practice Builder
Unlike books, tapes and other seminars, the Atticus Practice Builder is not just about information. Instead, it is the beginning of a process designed to make sure you actually implement what you learn and get the results you want—greater income, less stress and a more satisfying personal life.
The Atticus Practice Builder will give you a step-by-step process to re-engineer your practice so it really works for you, right now and in the years ahead. It will show you how to stop working with unpleasant, unprofitable clients; in practice areas you dislike, and instead attract high quality, profitable new clients faster than you ever thought possible—and keep them for years. It will help you maximize your hidden growth potential by building stronger partnerships with your referral sources, your staff, and your clients.
