Senior corporate counsel Robert Taylor of Liberty Mutual Insurance likes to start with the mantra: "It's called transformation if you are paying attention, and disruption if you're not."

Taylor, who leads Liberty Mutual's legal ideation and transformation team in Boston, pays lots of attention to change in the legal space and how to adapt to it. He recently took part in a roundtable discussion with other in-house leaders as part of the Executive Institute.

"For me, it is a rather unique experience," Taylor explained to Corporate Counsel, "with a very curated group of professionals that come together with the sole intention of wanting to have mature in-depth discussions to examine and define and promote leadership around a particular issue, such as diversity and inclusion, technology/process/people, sustainability and leadership."
