A  law firm business strategy is supported by its objectives, but are you measuring progress against those objectives effectively?

If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Calibrate can help you define the critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and metrics to measure the true performance of your firm’s efforts, including how those efforts help bring new business through the door.
