Empiraa GPS for white collar firms
The firm’s own plan, beside the client work.
Empiraa GPS helps accounting and law firms, professional services businesses, technology companies and financial services firms run their own strategy. Growth, client, capability and people goals get an owner and a weekly update, without another meeting in the calendar.

The challenge
Client work is urgent. The firm’s plan is merely important.
Partners and directors agree where the firm should go at the offsite. Then utilisation, deadlines and clients fill the week, and the firm’s own plan moves at the pace of whoever has a spare hour.
What gets in the way
Billable time wins
Firm work is the first thing to slip in a busy month, every month.
Offices pull apart
Each office, practice group or team runs its own priorities, with little sight of the firm’s.
Sensitive plans
Lateral hires, acquisitions and succession cannot sit in a shared spreadsheet.
The update is manual
Someone rebuilds the progress pack by hand before every partners’ or board meeting.
How GPS helps
One plan for the firm, owned by the people who lead it.
How it works for white collar firms
The firm’s strategy on one page
Vision, values, goals and live status, in front of every partner, director and team lead. The page is right whenever you open it.
One name against every priority
Map partners, practice groups, offices and operations in the Accountability Chart, so each firm priority has one accountable person rather than a committee.
A weekly update in a minute
Owners set the number and pick a status. Check-ins land before the meeting, so the hour is spent on decisions instead of going around the table.
The partners’ pack, written for you
Pick the report type, period and tone. GPS writes it from live data, leads with the decisions you need, and you edit it like a document before it goes out.
Built for how you work
Made for firms where every hour is accounted for.
What white collar firms get
Private where it needs to be
Goals and objectives stay with the people who need them, and access is set by role.

Questions
Questions firms ask.
Does GPS replace our practice management or PSA system?
No. Keep the systems that run matters, jobs, time and billing. GPS runs the firm’s own plan above them: the goals, the owners and the weekly rhythm.
How much time does it take a partner each week?
About a minute an objective. Owners set a number, pick a status and add a line if something has changed. The check-in before a leadership meeting takes about the same.
Can we keep sensitive plans private?
Yes. Goals and objectives can be kept private to the people who need them, and access is set by role. Read about security.
We use OKRs. Do we have to change?
No. GPS runs KPIs, OKRs, quarterly Rocks or a balanced scorecard, and you keep your own language for them. See planning methods.
Can we try it first?
Yes. We run 30-day pilots with one leadership team, using your real plan. We agree the pilot terms with you in the demo. See how pricing and pilots work.
