Description

Innovating in a conventional industry, especially a relatively conservative one, can feel like a battle not worth fighting. But what if it wasn’t a polarizing topic? Our expert panelists know that some firms like those structured around billable hours could react to terms like “automation” as though they were “radioactive” – even if efficiencies, better client outcomes, and more revenue result. So how does one convince decision-makers to think ahead, long-term, and see innovation as tapping into opportunity?

In this revealing session, our expert panelists will share their varied experiences and perspectives on how to overcome some of the institutionalized norms and attitudes that make innovation a challenging (albeit gratifying) endeavor.

This program was recorded as part of ALM's Legalweek 2021 Virtual Conference on July 13th, 2021.
