What are you ingesting and will you digest it for me?

I recently stumbled upon a web post, 50 Popular Business Books Summarized in One Sentence Each, and appreciated authors Drake Baer and Mike Nudelman’s ability to synthesize entire books so succinctly. For example, about Robert Cialdini’s Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion: “[t]here are six universal principals that determine if people will change behavior – reciprocity, commitment, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity.”

The Cloud Opens a New Frontier in Mobility

The trend of new law firm floorplans that skip the big corner offices means that an increasing number of lawyers are choosing to work outside the office. As their laptops and phones get thinner and, at the same time, more powerful, lawyers want the flexibility to work from any device or location - and they want IT to figure out the details.

Law Firm Innovation Takes More than Talk

The legal market remains abuzz with innovation talk and articles. Absent from that discussion, however, is assessing the impact of innovation. I explain here the innovation buzz and assess its current state and impact. Assessing it turns out to be hard, so I include a case study of Ogletree Deakins to illustrate one innovation approach. Three reasons explain the innovation focus. First, clients demand value and use innovation as a proxy for it. Second, as consumers we experience innovation and disruption daily (think ride sharing) and so expect it everywhere. And third, the rise of legal AI–and AI hype–has changed expectations.

Benefits beyond Benefits: Building an Innovative Culture can Rival Compensation

In this day and age, compensation alone, is no longer enough to attract and retain top talent. I've noticed this first hand in the eDiscovery market. I speak to ten plus candidates in a given day and I always ask the question, "What is most important to you in a new role?" Ten years ago, that answer was usually in the world of money, or benefits, but today, about 80% of individuals I speak to are answering that question with something related to culture.

Embed Artificial Intelligence To Future-Proof Your Firm

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the hot topic in legal right now but for many, the reality has fallen short. Those that have embraced AI technology have mostly done little more than automate and streamline business processes. In part, this is due to AI being used as a point or departmental solution rather than being truly embedded within the organization. While these current applications of AI are delivering financial and business benefits, they are by no means maximizing the power and potential of embedded AI to ensure firms remain competitive now and in the future.
