PSMJ’s new book, Circle of Excellence: How the Best Firms are Positioning Themselves for Economic Recovery, gives you tips and advice from 18 of the most recent recipients of PSMJ’s Circle of Excellence Award.

What Makes These 18 Firms So Successful?

Circle of Excellence firms are concerned about the current economic situation, but also confident and optimistic because they understand what it takes to succeed. They use what they learn about their firm and their peers and are willing get out of their own “comfort zone” to overcome obstacles. In this book, you come to understand how critically important benchmarking is to meeting your specific challenges, getting and keeping great clients, attracting and developing outstanding people in your firm, and completing projects profitably.

These firms have distinct vision and live distinct values. They adopt and carry out ideas that are consistent with their visions and values. They know it is not enough to do one thing extremely well. Well-run firms do scores of things extremely well. Things as simple as having an associate answer the phone in the office or maintaining regular contact with a client that is not currently doing a project. And most importantly, they measure their success and constantly take steps to improve in all areas.

PSMJ’s Circle of Excellence includes intimate interviews from these 18 firms, and gives you the ins-and-outs of what they do day-to-day to be successful in this competitive industry. You have the opportunity to learn best practices and lessons learned straight from your peers, and learn how your firm can get on track. We guarantee that what you take away from their real-life lessons will help you and your firm succeed in 2011 and beyond.
