The Minnesota Board of Legal Certification has been accrediting the agencies that certify Minnesota lawyers as specialists in defined fields of law since 1986. The Board’s purpose in accrediting agencies is to enhance public access to appropriate legal services by giving the public an additional way to assess the knowledge and expertise of a prospective attorney. The Board’s work in accrediting certifying agencies benefits the profession, individual members of the bar, and the public as a whole.

In this role, I am focused on the health of the product development system of a customer or prospect as the key indicator of the organization’s product development maturity. Understanding the causes of product development problems is the critical component to planning and executing initiatives to address them. So, in my role, I take a ‘Learning First’ approach in bringing solutions and countermeasures to customers’ product development system’s problems. The exercise used to do so is the Product Development System Assessment. The assessment is a learning event in which internal understanding of the product development operation is paired with the external perspective of product development subject matter experts to create a shared understanding of critical improvement requirements.The EAC assessment evaluates a product development system through a framework called the EAC Product Development Operating System. This framework includes components touching on strategic alignment, information management and flow, competitive nature, cross functional collaboration, subject matter expertise development, management and leadership methodologies, and transactional and variable process maturity.The output of the Product Development System Assessment includes an articulation of the organization’s current state; a composite of an aspirational improved future state; and a multi-phase improvement roadmap that will, when executed, move the product development system a significant distance towards that future state within the current constraints of time, budget, people and other resource availability.
