I'm part of Patrick McKenna's ENABLE Program

Late last year I was approached by my friend Patrick McKenna to participate in a new innovative initiative entitled The ENABLE Program  (Executive Network of Advisory Boards for Leadership Excellence). Intended specifically to be a unique resource for managing partners. (Scroll down if you’re a managing partner and you’d like to read McKenna’s description of the service.)

McKenna's idea is to bring together a flexible stable of retired professional service firm managing partners and gurus like me to be available as Advisory Board members to current managing partners. Each managing partner, with McKenna’s guidance, selects ENABLE advisors whose expertise and perspectives most closely match the executive’s particular challenge.

I think McKenna's idea is very powerful, because it allows managing partners to receive customized – and well-integrated -- guidance for their particular professional sector and enterprise.

McKenna reports that one of his early ENABLE managing partner clients said he had a very successful first meeting with his new Advisory Board at the end of November.  This managing partner reported, "They will meet with me, our COO and our practice group leader three times per year and with our full executive committee once per year.  I know that there is much I can learn from others and I look forward to learning best practices and to being challenged." 

This is a win-win scenario, especially as so many professional service firms are private enterprises, and many have not yet created their own board of directors or advisors. This model can be situation-specific, with the Advisory Board able to be evolved as necessary to meet specific challenges.

Reach out to Patrick McKenna directly to learn more about this new concept.

McKenna writes:

Consider for a moment: As the leader of your firm, where do you turn for counsel on issues like . . . knowing how to get some of our more reluctant partners to accept some necessary new change; determining how you might effectively implement some of the various alternative billing models; or figuring out how to help those partners with underperformance, behavioral problems, or retirement challenges.

Perhaps even more profound, if you are like many of your peers, you puzzle over how to integrate your firm’s culture and really provide seamless service when spread across multiple offices; you agonize over how to posture your firm for a period of flat economic growth and potentially decreased client demand; and you try to make sense out of how technological advances may significantly disrupt the conventional ways in which lawyers have practiced.

To specifically help you address those and other sensitive issues, a new innovative initiative entitled The ENABLE Program  (Executive Network of Advisory Boards for Leadership Excellence) has just been launched and intended specifically to be a unique resource for managing partners like yourself.

Nothing in life is free so when a managing partner see's an offer like this without knowing what the fee is up front it creates doubt in our minds.

As business people we know there's always someone around the corner that wants to take our money and time.

If your offer is good enough to stand up to critical business judgment, why don't you spell out the fee for the service and other particulars that would require our time.
