Doing It On Your Own: When to Call in the Consultants, When to Leave Them Out
This document discusses three different approaches an organization took to large projects based on whether they used consultants, a partnership with consultants, or handled projects internally.
The first project, an Exchange migration, was fully outsourced due to specialized expertise needs, a hard deadline, and staff already at capacity. The second project involved both internal staff and consultants, with consultants providing specialized support, training, and flexibility due to high costs of delays. The third project, a website conversion, was handled internally due to staff expertise and no hard deadline, though it took longer and required fixing errors. The document evaluates advantages like staff development and flexibility, versus costs like time and opportunity costs.
Stakeholder management
The first stage of this is brainstorm who your stakeholders are. The next step is to prioritise them by power and interest, and to plot this on a Power/Interest grid. The final stage is to get an understanding of what motivates your stakeholders and how you need to win them around.
Managing difficult stakeholders - how to...
I'd like to share with you my experiences in managing stakeholders, this is just one example of how to go about it..
My chosen step wise approach is a) define the problem, b) fully understand the situation and c) lead discussions to gain consensus on the way forward and with stakeholder buy-in. I consistently worked across many organisational levels and boundaries utilising a variety of communication and negotiation techniques e.g. presenting the problem definition in written form, setting up a dialogue (e.g. conference call/meeting) to openly discuss and iteratively documenting options/conclusions to take forward for stakeholder agreement.
As an overriding principle I strongly believe that acting towards others in a way that engenders trust is a sure fire way of achieving the best outcome for all.

Risk management for law firms chapter 1 ark 2009 by dave cunningham
This document provides an overview of effective risk management for law firms.

Risk management for law firms chapter 2 ark 2009 by meg block
This document discusses governance models for managing conflicts of interest and new business intake at law firms. It begins by outlining the risks of the traditional "hub-and-spoke" model and argues a new centralized model is needed. The document then describes two models - the distributed hub-and-spoke model where clerical staff handle conflicts clearance, and the centralized pyramid model with a specialized research team. It argues the pyramid model places the interests of the firm over individual lawyers and allows for more thorough factual analysis of conflicts.
Trends shaping the future of legal risk management by dave cunningham and m...
The legal market is conservative when it comes to risk management, and firms often view proactive risk identification and policy setting as more perilous than helpful. However, recent events related to data breaches, regulatory compliance, and client issues are driving increased focus on risk management from general counsels, insurers, and clients. Key trends include greater partnership between general counsels and IT leaders on risk issues; heightened attention to data confidentiality and security; engagement of professional liability insurers in risk discussions; and growing client sophistication in evaluating law firms' risk handling capabilities. Over time, firms may transition more risk responsibilities to centralized teams and formalize previously implicit risk mitigation.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
