Masterclass Description

The role of legal IT and digital leaders in firms of all shapes and sizes has been changing fast in recent years. And it seems likely that the pace at which those roles are evolving will continue to speed up. How can IT leaders balance business as usual / keeping the lights on and ensure compliance with accelerating demands for client-facing LegalTech, innovation and products. CIOs, CTOs and IT Directors are having to cope with the increased prominence and strategic significance of IT in firms (evidenced by the pandemic and the cyber threat in recent years), whilst managing rocketing expectations of almost instant response and resolution to any IT issue from users, who are now distributed and often working from home.

Learning Objectives

For legal IT and digital leaders reflection on some key questions is an essential component of maximising their impact in their roles and becoming the CIOs, CDOs and CTOs of the future:

• Where can your skills and know-how be most effectively utilised?
• How do you keep abreast of the latest developments and thinking in key technology areas, whilst ensuring the lights stay on?
• How can you evaluate your own digital maturity and readiness, and help your firm set the right strategic course for the digital future?
• What resources, support and investment do you need to maximise your positive impact and leverage your expertise?
• Who are your key allies and partners in introducing digital change to your firm and how can you work more effectively with them?
• How can you drive digital transformation and change in your business?
• How can you and your firm ensure that your technology and digital leadership is evolving to meet the changing world?

Which are the leadership, management and interpersonal skills successful IT leaders need most in this volatile and uncertain environment?
