Leader and Change
the World
by John Alber
John Alber is retired but serves in
a volunteer capacity as a futurist for
the International Legal Technology
Association. For the 16 years prior,
he served as Bryan Cave's strategic
innovation partner. The groups under
his leadership developed innovative
web-based, client-centric applications
and client-facing knowledge
management, project management,
project estimation and business
intelligence systems.
"Whether you know John
Alber personally or not, you
have been inf luenced by him.
John imagined and instituted
what we now think of as law
firm knowledge management.
That achievement alone
is enough for a career.
However, he did so much
more. He pioneered lawyers
in tech, mentored many legal
technologists, served as a
role for many more, and has
been a thoughtful friend and
committed volunteer. Don't be
a stranger, John."
