September 29, 2020 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?

September 04, 2020 Emerging Roles in Legal - Episode #1
Amy Monaghan, Senior Practice Innovations Manager, Perkins Coie, had the great honor of speaking with Jason Barnwell, Assistant General Counsel—Modern Legal at Microsoft for this inaugural episode of the Emerging Roles in Legal podcast series. Jason never fails to provide thought-provoking insights and my personal favorite quote from this episode is that "business presents a candy store of broken things!" Of course, we see the broken things as opportunities for innovation, which is where these new skillsets and emerging roles in legal are needed.
If you're interested in hearing more from Jason, check out the Business of Law Podcast and also his posts on Legal Evolution (I recommend this post on designing knowledge work).
Be on the lookout for a next episode soon!
