Effective and
innovative use of technology for a firm doesn't always just mean the splashiest
and latest software. Habif, Arogeti & Wynne, for instance, has developed
an in-house video capability it is using to enhance communications both
internal and external.
HA&W has
used video testimonials on its Web site, but the most sophisticated project
to date is the internal video newsletter "Beyond The Numbers,"
which in the guise of a monthly television news program welcomes new hires
to the firm, recognizes employee achievements, and reports on developments
affecting the company. The entire production is accomplished in-house through
the use of relatively low-cost video and computer technology, with HA&W's
multimedia specialist handling camera work and production and participants
all being employees of the firm. The "Better Know A Partner" interview
segment introduces younger staff and new hires to partners.

HA&W's recruiting
director uses the video newsletter in her college recruiting efforts to
deliver information to prospective staffers "in unexpected formats,"
and the firm uses video to deliver training to staff. All internal training
programs are recorded and made available as streaming videos on the firm's
Intranet.
