A focus group is a gathering of like-minded individuals representing firms across the UK and Ireland (and occasionally further afield) who meet for an intense full day session, although the Managing Partner focus groups meet the evening before for a working dinner. Focus groups are one of the most successful methodologies of exposing your colleagues to the realities of running a practice and, at the same time, providing real and practical solutions. Participants are all willing to share ideas and develop relationships and, as a result, consistently benefit from new ideas, problem solving discussions and often discover new resources.
Each meeting will be facilitated by Gordon Gilchrist and/or Chris Frederiksen. Their job is to make you aware of the latest issues and trends in the profession and to share ideas and approaches from other practices. We encourage firms to send 2 representatives to each meeting as implementation of ideas is often more successful this way.
Please note: These are not widely marketed as they are well attended by previous attendees. However, if you would like to be invited PLEASE let us know.
Three important features of each meeting are:
- Each firm updates the group with their most successful ideas over the past year or so, which is a great way to get new ideas.
- Each firm has the opportunity to share their most important concerns and this often forms the basis of the agenda for the remaining time of the meeting.
- All the discussion points, information and recommendations from the meeting are summarised and distributed to participants (on a strictly confidential basis).
