Nick Pryor, Freeths, Director of Knowledge Management & Innovation
All of us can relate to KM/Innovation projects or technology launches that stall or fail to live up to their potential. How can you calculate the cost of failure? How can you use the framework and tools of change management to increase the prospects of success for your initiative? This session will outline how BCLP has begun to explicitly price change management efforts into our project commitments from the outset, and use that discipline to reduce the potential for acquiring shelfware.

Traditional law firm strategies often involve broad, aspirational goals or tactical implementation plans for individual practice groups.
