Imagine this scenario...
As a General Counsel, you need somebody to immediately address a matter, but you have no idea who has capacity. You email/text/call/Teams/Slack each member of your team to get a sense of their current workload and deliverables. There is some back-and-forth as you work through who has the most capacity and how it matches with their experience for the issue at hand.
You have now spent an hour trying to hand the original issue off, you have noticed your team has a wildly disparate means of prioritizing work and you are (ahem) frustrated.
The solution:
A single, central source of truth, such as a matter management software, brings all of the information you need together in one place. It will show who is working on what and for whom in real time, gives your team a sense of calm and control and the ability to prioritize effectively and manage tasks and deadlines accordingly. Each team member can feel a sense of pride at seeing how much they have achieved, and collaboration amongst them will improve when they have visibility over each other's work.
