Talent Management

Technology enables talent, but it is the talent in your team which advises, supports and delights clients. Digital transformation goes beyond technology, and the automation of tasks. It represents an opportunity to reimagine the purpose of our roles and the outcomes we are capable of delivering. Digital transformation is the reinvention of an organisation based on the opportunities presented by a digitised workplace. Agile working, data-driven management, multi-disciplinary teams and greater client-centricity, driven by a more strategic advisory role, are all objectives of a successful digital transformation. For those, you need a talent strategy which has been designed for the digital era. We can work with you to get the best out of your team. 

Junior members will still need their core technical skills, but they will also want an aspirational vision for their careers as the profession evolves. As technology does more routine work, the behavioural skills of a successful professional will be needed earlier in a career. Influencing, communicating, leadership and project management skills will become more relevant, earlier, and can no longer just be left to develop organically through years of experience. Increasing automation will allow legal careers to accelerate and that requires support and specific training.  

Leaders of law firms, and in-house legal teams, should be supported to adapt to increased client expectations and a digitised operating model. Legal leaders are familiar with how to train junior lawyers to engage with clients, frame their advice and respond to risks and challenges. However, If clients are increasingly interacting with technology solutions, how do you ensure the technology response is consistent with the human experience to deliver a consistent client service? Senior partners and general counsels will increasingly be leading multi-disciplinary teams where they will need to be directing a technology strategy alongside growing their legal talent. 

We can support across all levels of your organisation from highly individualised executive coaching, to the development of global talent strategies and training programmes to take your organisation to the next level.
