When you dive into a few hundred pages of good data the old-fashioned way (read, highlight), broad themes usually rise to the surface. But real insights are often found in the details and context. This winter and spring I’ve spent many hours poring over responses to 57 benchmarking questions. The respondents are legal and compliance heads in large global organizations based in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
I personally know all the far-flung respondents. Several of them contributed questions or edited mine. It’s a blind survey: no names are connected to answers. Here and in upcoming Global In-House columns, you’ll hear more about what your international peers, bosses or direct reports are thinking and doing, collectively. The info is qualitative and can be a useful input to make decisions.
