About Boost
Boost is something exciting, fresh and new in the legal services sector to help clients drive more value from their investments in legal. Boost is not a law firm (see regulatory statement here).
Boost brings together a selected mix of legal and non-legal resources that are complimentary additions to the traditional legal resources pool and solutions available to GCs, critical to building modern legal departments and high performing teams.
Boost was set up by Steve Ball who has 25 years’ in-house experience, most recently as a General Counsel and Head of Ethics & Compliance at an international listed industrial company.
Whilst Boost is a relatively young enterprise embracing modern legal practises and the opportunities this presents for clients, we leverage more than a hundred and fifty years of experience. Our difference is the in the unique blends of diverse talent and experience that underpins Boost and our broad networks of additional specialists and resources.
Boost’s ‘manage for value’ philosophy and practises draw upon distilled experience and thinking from work in a variety of legal, compliance and commercial experience in Blue Chips, start-up companies and private equity, combined with learning gained from the privilege of working with leading international and local law firms, management consultants and other talented innovators and leaders in their fields.
Boost’s practises and toolkits have been developed through years of in-house experience , originating from Steve’s time at Motorola University in 1998 where he was first introduced to their Six Sigma programme and developed a keen interest in high-performance and its application to legal and compliance.
Boost’s ‘Value Acceleration Framework’ includes integrated strategic, operational and project dimensions and incorporates, as appropriate for the context, principles and practises from Change Acceleration, Lean, Kaizen, Agile (SCRUM/Kanban), Design Thinking etc. and always ensures that people/talent and sustainable change remain front and centre. It helps clients to understand their current orientation and potential, to frame their vision and objectives and to start or to drive their journey to realizing more value from legal and evolving into high performance legal.
