Rethinking
Matter Centricity
An alternative approach to
workspace design and
workspace security
Matter Centricity is critical to fulfilling your
fiduciary responsibilities.
Yet, poor adoption
of the electronic
file remains a
challenge – and a
source of
frustration.
The core problem
Traditional approaches to
workspace design and
workspace security don’t
effectively enable
workflows.
It’s hard to edit
folder security
Creating folders at root of
workspace
• Takes some knowledge to
set up correctly
• Usually requires full access
to the workspace
Any user with read/write
to the parent can create a
sub-folder
Users don’t
understand
re-filing
• Documents are
loosely coupled
with folder
• Must re-file when
moving document
• Must re-file when
editing folder
security and
metadata
• Re-filing can delay
access to
information
IT has become
a bottleneck
Any step that
requires IT is a
barrier to adoption
What’s the fix?
Workspace design is a critical component of rethinking
Matter Centricity
Rethinking
workspace design
On-demand foldering
Allows lawyers to
rapidly make
adjustments as they
map out their
workspace structures
Make it easy to
tailor the file
structure to the
matter
• Give lawyers the
ability to add root-
level folders and
subfolders
• Keep it simple by
limiting the folder
structure to three
levels:
– Root folder
– Sub folder
– Sub sub folder
Rethinking
security
Two important
concepts
1. Who can create
folders in a
workspace
2. Who has access
to part or all of
the workspace
structure
Designate an
owner for every
matter
Put ownership of the
electronic file into the
hands of the people who
know the matter best
Responsible lawyer
and staff
• Paralegal
• Secretary
• Clerk
Build a matter team
of those who work
on it
Controlling the
“who” stems the
chaos that typical
foldering creates.
Controlling the
“what”
Allows firms to
standardize naming
conventions
Gives lawyers the
flexibility to structure
folders in a way that
can be understood
across offices
Rethinking re-file
Governance
The goal is to keep
matter data with matters
Control the
workflow with
business rules
• Personal workspace to
matter
• Matter to personal
workspace
• Matter to KM
• Matter to Matter
• Within a matter
Rethinking globalization
With one active library per global region where do you
create workspaces?
• Create in home region
• Only add in other regions if team is large
• Exception: speed of light
