By Greg Lambert on August 8, 2013

I wasn’t sure if dusting off the old Elephant Post idea would work, but I’d have to say that we had a lot of people step up and answer the call. Nina Platt threw out the challenge to Law Librarian Bloggers, and like the true delegator I am, I asked all of…

[Note: The Answers are now posted]

In case you’re wondering, it was November 28, 2011. That was the last time we rolled out the Elephant Post here on 3 Geeks. However, there was a message in my email in-box this morning that made me think that it might be time to…

Elephant Post: You're Not a Law Firm; You're A _______ That Sells Legal Services

By Greg Lambert on November 28, 2011

When Gerry Oginski wrote a post entitled “You’re Not a Law Firm; You’re a Marketing Firm That Happens to Sell Legal Services,” he hit a nerve with a number of people. Judging by the comments that were left on Oginski’s post, I’d say that you either believe that, or you think it is…

Elephant Post: How Do You "Socialize" At Conferences?

We wrote last week about a suggestion made at the AALL Futures Summit on improving ways for newbies (and introverts) to better socialize while at conferences. Some thought that the current methods were adequate and that the introverts and new members should suck it up and adjust to the way…

Elephant Post: What are the "New" Things In Your Budget This Year??

I wanted to start out this post by announcing that we are putting the Elephant Posts to sleep at the end of the year, and that we will spend the last five posts (in December) as a remembrance to the mighty Elephant that entertained and informed us for the 15 months. Mostly because…

Elephant Post: If You Could Re-Brand Your Profession, What Would You Call It?

One of the questions that you may hear at a conference is “What would you do if you could start your department from scratch?” Well, this week’s Elephant Post question simply asks that same question. If you could re-brand your department or profession, what would you call it? Would it help…

Elephant Post: What Are the Innovative Technologies in the Legal Industry

By Greg Lambert on October 27, 2011

The comment I hear a lot when the words “technology” and “legal industry” are mentioned in the same sentence (besides a quick chuckle) is that we tend to be five years behind the rest of the world. I obviously can’t see you, but go ahead and raise your hand if you…

Elephant Post: What is the Biggest Hurdle to Telecommuting in Your Workplace?

By Greg Lambert on October 20, 2011

Telecommuting still seems to be a taboo term around many offices. Most of the people I’ve talked to this week about the question of telecommuting seem to think that the whole issue revolves around the fact that many of our bosses still believe that if they can’t see you, then you’re probably…

Last week we all held hands around the virtual campfire and sang a round of Kumbayas about what traits we think make for better lawyers, librarians, IT, KM, marketers, and so on. This week, we drop hands and start pointing out the traits that don’t necessarily make for great workers in…

I love this question and the the contributions we received this week. The answers were as diverse as the 24 defined traits. Some of the contributors cheated a little and named off more than one, but that’s okay. Steven Levy’s answer that it is wise not to limit the world to a…
