The Importance of Strategic Management of an In-House Function

Abstract

This article seeks to emphasize the importance of Managers having a strategic approach to the management of their In-house teams. Managers must be deliberate when faced with choices and those choices must reflect reality – the goals of the department, the wider organisation and the external environment within which the department operates. There is a constant failure to match the environment to the needs of the team creating a gap which contributes to In-house teams and heads of legal departments not getting the recognition that they deserve.
