The "War for Talent"
The "War for Talent" in the litigation support arena continues to intensify. Despite the daily headlines of sanctions, E-Discovery debacles and worse, my clients complain that they are not able to convince key decision makers with their firms how critical salary adjustments are to both attract as well as RETAIN key talent.
Litigation Support is not the internal Kinko's. Knowledge is expensive; technical skills are less so. Yet the right combination is priceless because it can save your clients millions of dollars, not to mention public embarrassment and the wrath of Wall Street.
A $1 drop in share price on bad news can easily cost a company $500M in market cap in less than 1 hour. (Can you say KPMG, Morgan Stanley, TYCO, Disney?)
The attached Harvard Business Review article on "Professional Intellect" will help you make the case for paying key knowledge workers market value.
Ahh politics and the confines of Human Resources... Perhaps a copy of Sung Tzu's: The Art of War??
Good Luck,
David Cowen
