An elite boutique law firm wanted to grow beyond a Founder-led sales motion, that, after 15 years had become unsustainable. Our Blue Sky diagnostic revealed that the firm didn’t have a sales problem—it had an institutionalization problem. They lacked a shared commercial vocabulary, which caused clients to view them as a fragile, single-person operation.
