eady, Fire, Aim! Something
sound wrong? The
expectations of in-house
counsel are evolving from
legal, compliance and risk
managers to strategic enablers, and legal teams are
looking for ways to meet this challenge. However, with
these growing expectations, we are often witnessing
'quick win' transformations in the form of short-term,
unsustainable and unintegrated change.
This is well intentioned: your legal team
identifies a well-known pain-point and you want to
solve it. Silver-bullet solutions are quickly procured
and deployed - but this approach can lead to adverse
impacts:
There is too much technolo, and it's unclear
which is the best system or how to use these
systems most effectively;
The stakeholders outside of legal do not adopt
the new processes and ways of working;
Improving a pain-point in one area creates
other pain-points across the system;
