Advanced Certificate in Allied Legal Professional Skills Module 3: Legal Transformation and Change Management
About This Course
Law firms are constantly being pushed to transform. This means not only adoption of technology, but also innovation in processes and continuous upskilling of people. It is critical for law firms to have a plan for where they are going and a solid understanding of the business reasons for going there. Change should not be for its own sake. It is also vital that there is a plan for change management. It is not as simple as setting a destination and getting going: It does not matter how good your technology or process is if no one will use it. In many cases, the barrier is not technology but people. Law firms must learn how to overcome inertia and change conservative mindsets.
The overall objective of this module is to help participants understand how to plan and execute transformation, digital and otherwise, within a law firm.
