--- title: Using Lean Thinking and Legal Tech to Enhance Document Creation description: "Lawyers are perfectionists, working long hours and rushing to get everything done. But those are actually signs of bad process. The result: lost profits and a constant state of crisis. It’s time for lawyers to rethink how they work and why they work as they do. While lawyers and clients rightly focus on solving the legal problem, how we work to solve the problem still matters. And, in the age of generative AI, work patterns that rely on accident, myth, or mimicry won’t satisfy clients or generate profits. Learn to apply Lean and Value Stream Management to legal knowledge work." image: https://www.wordrake.com/hubfs/Lean%20Masterclass%20Thumbnail%20Image.png --- #### WordRake is joining BriefCatch.

Here, we’ll make Lean for law firms more accessible by applying it to the document creation process. This work is familiar to everyone in a law firm, and everyone plays some role in it, so it’s both relatable and ripe for improvement. By the end of this program, you’ll see that if your work isn’t producing value, then it’s not the right work. You’ll learn to: - Apply ideas from [Value Stream Optimization](https://www.wordrake.com/blog/value-stream-mapping), where we divide work into value-creating activities and value-supporting activities - Make your valuable work more efficient using Lean and the concept of Power Zones - Understand the eight classic ways lawyers waste time and money, with a focus on unused talent, extra processing, and over-production…and you’ll get to apply these principles to your own work using Karen’s [Eight Wastes Workbook](https://gimbal.ck.page/3a293bb459).  Finally, we’ll will help you translate and apply these Lean principles to the document creation process, suggesting legal technologies and workflows that you can start using today. Together, we will share real stories about waste in document creation—you’re sure to recognize these scenarios from your own experiences—then show you how to address these issues. We’ll reveal the inefficiencies and waste hiding in each step of the document creation process and help you discover how to save time, do better work, and find happiness by working in your Power Zone.
