5 Tips for Recognizing, Planning for and Handling Moments of Friction for Learners
Wednesday Jul 19, 2023
Wednesday Jul 19, 2023
Identifying "Moments of Friction" -- workers' pain points with technology, processes and adoption is critical. In this session, the speaker discussed how to identify whether a MOF is a result of technology or psychology; highlight pain points; adoption; needs analysis; dig into the why and learning how to get to the root/core of the issue and user frustration.
Questions the moderator will ask the speaker: -Why don’t you tell us a bit about the framework you like to use when thinking about the needs around training, and how those give way to the moments of friction that arise?-This question is why I refer to change management as equal parts comms and therapy: how can we make sure users feel as though their needs were taken into account?-We’re all aware that most people don’t exactly love change. What are some ways to tell whether workers’ friction with new tech or processes is due to that, or if there’s something bigger at play?-I think most people overlook frequent and useful communication as a tool to help along adoption: what are some ways you’ve best decreased friction in the past?-Final (tricky) question: what do you do when people bring you in after things have already gone off the rails?

The Rise of the ”Non-Lawyer” – Threat or Opportunity
Tuesday Jul 18, 2023
Tuesday Jul 18, 2023
Some people predict that by 2025 half of legal teams will be staffed by non-lawyers. Will that be perceived as a threat or an opportunity? Do lawyers need to learn legal tech, or can they just hire people who specialize in it but are not lawyers? Do you need to be a lawyer to effectively use legal tech?Questions moderator will ask speakers: - The term “non lawyer” is sometimes perceived as quite controversial. Many people who support the business of law feel it is used to marginalize expertise. With the development of legal technologies being a lawyer is not always a needed qualification to plan, implement and use the tools. In your experience how does it help to be a lawyer or not, when using legal technologies?- Where do you see non lawyers working cases, supporting transactions, being part of case teams, etc. today?- With more and more demand on expertise to “drive” legal technologies, or perform data analysis, do you think layers need to learn these skills? Or can they just hire non-lawyers to work side by side with lawyers? Or both?- Do you think the balance could even tip that within law firms more non-lawyers are leveraged to work and manage cases and lawyers solely focus on the parts that require analysis and practice of the law?- What does all this mean for the legal profession, will the job description of lawyers change over time? Why or why not?
