AGILE LAWYER

 

In a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world, certainty no longer exists. Business model transformation, digitalisation, automation, talent... the legal market is in perpetual motion. The transformation of legal management and legal professionals is underway.

 

How can we cope with it? Where to start? New technologies or talent?

AGILITY

 

Why is it desirable to apply the concept of Agility, which has often proved its worth in the world of software development and start-ups, to the legal sphere? How can it be used to improve performance, rigour and collective success?

 

The EDHEC Augmented Law Institute and its Legal Talent Management experts answer these questions in a white paper entitled "Agility", published in November 2020.

 

This white paper inaugurates a series of publications whose objective is to positively accompany lawyers in their transformation by relying on the Legal Talent Management solutions developed thanks to the academic and career expertise of EDHEC Business School in the field of Law.

WHO SHOULD READ THIS WHITE PAPER?

 

  • Directors and legal managers, to make the legal department a competitive advantage for the company.
     
  • Lawyers to understand how to give a new impetus to their career.

CONTENT

 

WHY ?

 

In a market context of uncertainty and digital transformation, a legal team that is agile creates more value than one that is less so. Any doubts? Ask your (internal, external) clients.

 

WHAT ?

 

We must not confuse speed with haste, but in 90 minutes, we must deliver. "More with less" as Richard Susskind announced in his book "End of Lawyer? The agile approach comes from software development. Speed and adaptation to the customer's demands can be read in the four values and twelve principles of the "Agile Manifesto" described in 2011. The Manifesto is more than a method; it is a real culture, to act by iteration and incrementation.

 

HOW ?

 

To "agile" one's legal team, it is necessary to reconcile :

 

SHORT TIME: RELEASE THE TEAM'S AGILITY RESERVES

 

  1. Task Mapping
     
  2. Review of irritants
     
  3. Agility contract

 

LONG TERM: CREATE A CULTURE OF AGILITY IN THE TEAM

 

  1. Assessment (on entry)
     
  2. Talent Development - Upskilling Onboarding
     
  3. Assessment (exit) and certification
     

The agile approach (Lean, Scrum, Kaisen, Kankan) is proven in the software world. So why not in the legal world?
