The Homework Podcast

In this episode, Briana McCrory from BigHand, Craig Tomes from Commercial IT, Sarah Katherine Bagshaw from Alternative Events and Nick Hayne from Quiss Technology discuss what lies ahead for meetings with clients, events and conferences.

In this episode, Sarah Blair from Thorntons, Peter Gill from Engage Solutions and Rob Simcock from Kutana debate what the "New Norm" is going to look like. Our experts will also discuss the new metrics we need to measure the effectiveness of our businesses and share with you their top tips to help you design your post-Covid operating model.

This week we take a look at how the legal industry is dealing with the thorny challenge of managing a workforce that's been flung across regional geographies in an abstract game of corporate hide and seek. I am delighted to be joined by Stuart Whittle from Weightmans, Duncan Eadie from Professional Plus Solutions and Mark Hobart from start-up Business Intelligence and AI provider Infoboss.

In this episode you'll hear about the adjustments people are making to their businesses to better manager employee's mental health, the challenges presented in managing a distributed workforce and the steps you can take to overcome these challenges and some clues of what shape our panellists think the sector will look like as lockdown measures ease.

Welcome to The Homework Podcast. Each week I'll be inviting a virtual panel of crack industry experts to talk about best practice and service innovation from the front lines of legal operations during this Covid-19 pandemic.

Whether it's managing culture, working in a dispersed workforce or understanding the new age of productivity, if you work in a law firm, a supplier or a consultancy, this podcast is for you. After all, we're all in this together.

I'll keep the chat light-hearted and on point to make sure you don't waste time listening to fluff and fillers. I hope you enjoy our first episode, Brave New World. Please make sure you subscribe to ensure you don't miss out on our future episodes, where I'll be joined by a fresh panel every week.

Thanks for listening.
