CMS by Design

How it works, by Design

Identify, Design and Deliver – our 3 stages of innovation

How it works, by Design

Our structured approach to innovation ensures that we keep the people and the challenges that are important to you at the centre, so that we create the right innovative services for now and the future. Innovation means always looking for ways to improve and find new ways of providing services. CMS by Design isn’t any different.  After we deliver a solution, we continue to re-evaluate, embed and improve the innovation services we provide. Details of our three stages are included below.

Identify

One size does not fit all. That’s why we spend time with you and your teams exploring how by Design can best benefit you. These conversations often lead to innovation projects that are built on collaboration and co-creation with you, your teams and increasingly with your other legal advisers.

 

Design

Legal innovation is often associated with technology. We use a human-centered design methodology to make sure innovation focuses on people at every stage, even if we’re adopting technology as part of the solution. This ensures accessible, practical results, informed and further developed by your feedback.

 

Deliver

In addition to best-in-class technology and tools, we give you access to over 100 legal service designers, legal technologists and operations specialists, project managers, developers, knowledge and IT professionals. Whether combined or standalone, by Design ensures you always have the right mix of people, processes and technology to deliver exactly what you need.

You can find out more about CMS by Design by browsing our webpages or you can download our CMS By Design brochure. If you are unsure about how innovation could help your business you can also get in touch with the CMS by Design Innovation team: bydesign@cms-cmno.com to find out what mix of innovation tools / teams are available from CMS by Design and how your business could benefit from them.

Local market knowledge. Global outlook
