Fostering Innovation the Right Way

When there is a new innovative idea, you want to champion it and deliver on it as fast as possible, but in a responsible way. In this podcast, we will discuss what are some best practices for keeping stakeholders engaged while meeting firm governance standards and security requirements.
Questions from Dan to Nikki: -What methods do you use to solicit ideas? -How do you vet a pie in the sky idea vs. something practical, especially when it may be something deep in the weeds of a legal practice? (Relatedly, how do determine if an innovative idea is one attorney’s dream but not universal?)-When do different stakeholder groups get involved in the project? Are ideas vetted through risk, information governance, finance, etc. before they are PoC’d?-How do you productize your innovative projects?Moderator:@Daniel Pratt, IT Business Relationships Manager, Holland & Knight LLP
