When The Ramones pleaded to be given “Shock Treatment”, I somehow doubt that they were presciently pleading for help with project management issues in e-discovery. But I sense that shock is a common ailment for which some lawyers crave treatment. That shock has common symptoms: projects delivered late; inadequate budgetary reporting; insufficient explanation of problems; and multiple reporting lines. Indeed, this seems to be a global rather than a UK problem: recent Socha-Gelbmann surveys in the US reach similar conclusions.
