what exactly is mentorflo?
MentorFlo is a cloud based software that utilizes an elegant, lawyer-centered (non-engineer) design to solicit your legal experts to record and share their unique LEGAL PRACTICE WISDOM (the experience that’s currently trapped in their heads) and puts it into a form that may be refined and leveraged by your entire organization for everyone’s benefit.
We call it a Wisdom Management Platform. It’s basically awesome.
what’s the point of mentorflo?
MentorFlo is the solution to the two greatest challenges confronting the legal industry industry:
EFFICIENCY + PREDICTABILITY.
Solve those two problems and everything else falls in line.
Q: So why hasn’t anything else solved these problems before?
A: The traditional compensation model (billable hour) in law prioritized solving today’s problems, not tomorrow’s.
This meant that lawyers weren’t paid to write down what they've learned (like every other professional)…and so they didn’t. Essentially, attorney ‘practice wisdom’ has been locked in each attorney’s own head where it couldn't be studied, refined, or leveraged broadly beyond that one attorney.
“You can’t improve what you can’t measure”.
Without a shareable record of how they’ve solved problems in the past, it’s been impossible for the profession as a whole to meaningfully refine it’s process (efficiency) or gather the data necessary to accurately forecast results (predictability), let alone create new business models or deliver better solutions with clearly defined risks and rewards for all parties.
“It’s not a lack of will. Improvement has been hindered because a lack of the right resource”.
A structured form of legal practice wisdom has been the missing ingredient to any serious transformation in the legal industry. MentorFlo will change that.
what is LEGAL PRACTICE WISDOM?
WISDOM IS DIFFERENT THAN KNOWLEDGE.
Knowledge explains the past; it's WHAT and WHERE. Knowledge is fundamental to this problem, but if it were the solution by itself we'd be beyond this point by now.
Wisdom is the stuff you can’t find in books. It’s knowledge applied and refined through experience.
Wisdom is the deep understanding and skill that separates the novice from the master.
WISDOM is KNOWLEDGE + HOW & WHY. It’s your most valuable asset.
“PRACTITIONER WISDOM is the missing ingredient for a better legal business and the delivery of legal solutions”.
How’s it work?
KEYSTONE PROBLEM FOCUS
Change efforts fail not because of flawed implementation, but because they focus on the wrong problem.
The challenge is to identify the right problem.
“What’s the ONE-THING that that if you can disrupt your people’s habits around, would spread the change you want throughout the entire company?
That’s your KEYSTONE CHALLENGE.”
MentorFlo focuses your organization on your keystone challenge: IMPROVING THE WAY LAW IS PRACTICED.
LAWYER ENABLED DESIGN
Lawyer’s have to be part of the solution.
That’s why MentorFlo is designed to engage lawyers around the way they already work and think.
Its interface is the first of its kind that allows anyone, of any tech level, to easily share the core of their wisdom: what, how, where, and why.
These are the questions that lawyers are asking themselves in their heads already.
With MentorFlo they can finally express their wisdom easily in a tangible, structured form.
That’s the opposite of what you have right now (experience trapped in their heads).
By capturing those simple building blocks and presenting them in a logical and intuitively organized way, your entire team can benefit and engage.
