Coming today to TechnoFeature: Lawyers and technologists spend lots of mental energy dealing with choices. We ponder these choices, pose them to others, and participate as advisers and advocates. While often quickly resolved, choices permeate our business and personal lives. By many accounts they are becoming more frequent and complex. Periodically, some choices become the focus of prolonged deliberation and debate. Unfortunately, many law firms and corporate legal departments don't use technology creatively or aggressively to support an activity as ubiquitous as decision making. In this TechnoFeature article, consultant Marc Lauritsen who builds expert systems and helps law firms implement sound decision-making processes explores techniques and software tools designed to help you make better choices. If you've never heard of "choice management" before, Marc will help get you started in this important new discipline.
