Welcome to ILTACON Europe & Keynote: Leadership Under Stress: Exploring Project Failure at NASA

On Wednesday, we are excited to feature this captivating keynote speaker, with his compelling insights directly relevant to the practice and business of a law firm. Prepare to be highly engaged and glad you were there to hear this incredible perspective. In the year in which we celebrate fifty years since putting a man on the moon, Stephen Carver, Senior Lecturer in Project and Programme Management at Cranfield School of Management, will take us on a journey through NASA’s intense organisational and project management challenges, up to and beyond those pivotal “Go/No Go” decisions that happened the night before a space launch. Stephen will speak about the exposure of NASA’s shortcomings leading to failures. He will connect how these failures and innovations can be implemented in law firm technology projects.

Projects, Applications and Change Workshop Part I - Complexity - It's not Complicated

Change is risk – but it is also opportunity. Project and Programme management are the conventional tools for managing change, but cutting edge research at one of the UKs top Business Schools has identified that these conventional methods could be missing more than half the picture in the dynamic and “VUCA” (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environments that we currently navigate. This session is a fast moving, high flying look at how organisations can significantly improve the management of change – and it’s also a lot of fun! In this session, delegates will assess their own projects and programmes and look at how to better enhance their performance.

This is an interactive session that will bring delegates working together as a group to develop and agree best practice tools that the delegates can use within their own Firm’s to support the Easy Adoption of Digital Change, through the Delivery, Planning and Implementation stages

These experts in client engagement will share how to master client-driven demand, exceed expectations, and offer their vantage points from the front lines to where they see the sector evolving. We’ll explore shared common ground, and highlight where there is less crossover and collaboration, to help the industry think about the areas we need to work together to improve.

AI-Powered Knowledge Management

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been proven to enhance the capabilities of teams engaged in discovery and due diligence by extracting and structuring information within unstructured document collections. A core goal of knowledge management has been to structure unstructured information, for example by developing and maintaining deal and experience databases. A major challenge to these efforts has been the limitations of human labour (labour is often not available, and when it is the quality may not be as high as is required).

During this session, we hear use case examples on the following:
- How knowledge is redefining itself to deliver new legal services
- How technology can be applied in a holistic people, process, data and technology mindset
- How to build the skills and structure of the emerging knowledge management team - including new roles, diversity of thought and leveraging the skills your people already have

Office 365 – The Art of the Possible

You will walk away with an understanding of a framework for adoption methodology and strategy plus an insight to the short / medium and long term visions of Office 365 and the digital transformation journey to the cloud.
