Description
Description: This week, we’re diving deep into the world of law firm innovation – and it’s not about the latest tech or software. Our focus today is on the human side of things: talent, culture, and change management. I’m excited to introduce two pioneering guests who are leading the charge in reimagining what the modern law firm can be. Madeline shares her origin story, discussing her background from Panama and wanting to be a maritime lawyer to her becoming the innovation leader at Reed Smith. Tim talks about his early aspirations to be a fighter pilot, actually being a mailman and pizza delivery guy and his transition into law, eventually leading Ogletree's practice intelligence group to focus on data analysis and innovation. Growing that group from 1 to 30 plus. This is one winding road of unexpected twists and turns. Both discuss the importance of change management vs project management and user engagement in driving adoption of innovative solutions in the legal industry. It’s all about the talent. The interview concludes with a discussion about favorite bands and songs. Wrap-up: It's clear that the landscape of law is changing, not just in terms of the technologies we use but more fundamentally in how we think about talent, culture, and change. A big thank you to Madeline Boyer and Tim Fox for sharing their insights and innovative approaches.
