    firm management guides

    • August 30, 2026·10 min read·knowledge management, reuse, firm management, professional services

      Turning Engagement Experience into Firm Knowledge

      Every firm has a knowledge repository, and in most of them the most recent useful document is several years old.

    • August 30, 2026·11 min read·resource planning, capacity, staffing, firm management

      Resource Planning and the Bench in a Services Business

      A services firm sells capacity it has to buy in advance, against demand it cannot see clearly. Everything about resource planning follows from that asymmetry.

    • August 30, 2026·10 min read·delegation of authority, governance, risk management, firm management

      Delegation of Authority for Professional Services Firms

      An authority matrix nobody can remember is an authority matrix nobody follows, and the exceptions become the process.

    • August 30, 2026·12 min read·margin, profitability, engagement management, firm management

      Where Engagement Margin Leaks, and How to Find It

      Margin is almost never lost in one decision. It is lost in a series of small, individually defensible concessions that nobody adds up until the engagement closes.

    • August 30, 2026·12 min read·utilisation, realisation, professional services metrics, firm management

      Utilisation, Realisation and Recovery Explained

      A firm can hit its utilisation target every month and still lose money on every engagement. The three measures only mean something together.
