Recently, my cousin described her approach to dealing with a family crisis: Chase the bus, get on the bus or drive the bus.

In other words, she chose to drive the bus.
General counsel, chief legal officers and other law department leaders confront similar choices, as the legal profession is in the midst of an industrial revolution in legal services.
