Editor's Notes
- #2 Excited; [click] to talk about changes in the legal profession – affecting how we practice and train future lawyers
- #3 Begin with: Three types of forces impacting us and legal educators around the globe. 1) Macro – forces affecting the marketplace generally and the law marketplace; 2) Meso - changes within the legal industry that impacting lawyers and therefore impacting legal educators 3) Micro -changes within the law school arena that are impacting how we can/should serve our customers – that is our students -. Move to predictions End with some suggestions – what we can do to meet needs and how – including LWOW
- #4 Do That Again Huge debate if Seismic or Temporary – likely neither – but forces accentuating change – forcing lawyers to adapt
- #5 Exceedingly more technological – changing the way we do everything - the way we connect
- #6 Or don’t connect – so many options hard choices
- #7 More efficient but not sure more effective? Project Time Off – HBR – people that take vacation are more likely to be promoted
- #8 Solar plane abu dabhi 3rd leg hawaii – 16 years in the making. Soon our iphones will have the capacity of the human brain
- #9 Even changed how we get our pizza – Domnicopter –huge investemtn DHL and Amazon and uk partliament thinks unmnaned drones all over in 10 years. Moved from real reality (reality tv) to virtual realtity to augmented reality – not just computers surpass human BRAIN but maybe even our humanness – one thing we pride our selves on human touch but augmented reality is moving into that space as well – Microsoft B15
- #10 Watson – jeopardy – not a game – cancer research and access to justice. Ross intelligene is working with Dentons natural language legal resource
- #11 Changing our clients lives – this is the point that Richard Susskind made in his end of lawyers book
- #12 Clio knows this best! – legal research like Ravel law and Mootus – changing how legal research is conducted and absorbed. Venture backed Legal Process Outsources – offshorers, onshorers that are changing how we do our work – ebilling, ediscovery, eresearch, econtract predictive coding. Inhouse L 6 sigma, project management Increasingly sophisticated clients demanding more – move from reputation and credentials to real metrics – and yes still want firm data but also info on the networks within firms – the smaller units – human capital
- #13 GR-WRD Global Recessio, change way we WORK, huge increase in regulations, Deregulation, Legal Services Act
- #14 #1 fear of CCOs is working with third party vendors in other countries Pond notthat far away Competition has changed – PSFs – rise of the freegan Clients Demanding – innovate – change innovate – FT innovation report came out last week -
- #16 Talk about each
- #17 Compettiion in the legal services market to innovate – not talking just about the many new legal service providers or legal startups (whch CLIO was one 7 years ao) but instaed innovation on Price, Product, Service, and Delivery (PPSD).
- #18 Legal prof is not new to tournaments or pyramids – not surprising the innovation tournament maps into one and also maps into the regulatory pytrmaid ntrapreneur An intrapreneur is a person behaves like an entrepreneur and has some of same characteristics and goals but performs within a larger organization as opposed to an entrepreneur that goes off on their own to build something new. $$$ An extrapreneur is a person with an entrepreneurial spirit that not only chooses to apply those talents and that energy to their own organization to affect change but also to apply those talents externally to other organizations to affect change and to bring those experiences back internally - to attempt to change from inside out - and the outside in – in continuous loop. Some criticize inside-out thinking because it involves pushing ones existing model out instead of looking outward (at consumer needs) and bringing those in. And of course the top two lead to entrepreneurship -- all of them do really . . . But if we are only going for self- may not reach out . . . . This leass to mega – entreprenrurship
- #19 Some examples
- #21 Mid Tier Schools down 40-50% - Even Harvard impacted accepting 16% of applicant svs11.
- #22 Competition isn’t just million lawyers in us but also outside and nonlawyers
- #26 First the skills
- #28 Further, traditional legal education and practice are defined by hierarchies and walls: barriers between academics and students, law and business, practitioners and educators, and within cultures and institutions walls.
- #29 BUT Clients are demanding we all work together and - Potent - Heidi Gardner’s article – hit the presses in March – her research shows – the average annual revenue per client triples when two pratice areas work together – collaborate – for a client instead of just one – and law firm partners that collaborate become better bigger rain makers that’s also what Innovation requires a willingness to take risks and - diverse open collaborative networks And thats where the second part of the pyramid comes the KEY to problem solving and innovation is collaboration with an open diverse wide network -/community What does that mean?
- #31 – spagetti towers – name some lucky accidents
- #32 Have to have innovation culture – asked at HLS for a different word bc innovation is so scary – first innovation is baby steps – TNT – tiny noticeable things with lasting value
- #50 Hi, it
