Presenter: Lucy Dickens
Session Outline:
Based on Lucy’s new book, this keynote presentation is designed to help law firm leaders cut through the noise about legal innovation and develop a strategy for their firm. There's no denying that the legal profession is changing. Now more than ever is the time to challenge conventional thinking and come up with better ways to do business.
There's lots of talk about why we need to change, but far less about how to actually do it. While so many people focus on the ‘what’ and the ‘why’, Lucy’s approach focuses on action. She is all about the ‘how’, and is just as interested in coming up with ideas as she is seeing them brought to life. Lucy talked us through her six-step blueprint to transform your firm, regain control of your business and achieve greater success on every level.
Practical, engaging and inspiring, this presentation will leave you knowing not only what to do, but, more importantly, how to do it.
