Lucy Dillon,
Rejuvenated by the The area where client pressure is event on the basis that we being felt most keenly is undeniably are sharing common on cost. With clients demanding problems. to see every line of spend Stephen McDonagh, itemised it has become imperative Anderson Strathern to work smarter. What have other knowledge strategists done to help their firms reduce their cost base? What should be the role of knowledge management in driving cost efficiency? At KM Legal 2013 you can hear from the Director of the Knowledge Centre at Clifford Chance about offshoring and also from the Director of Knowledge at Pinsent Masons about his role in disaggregation, outsourcing and northshoring. While Huron Consulting Group will look at the role that knowledge management can play in keeping costs down and in capturing lessons learnt.
As a strategic move would it make sense to combine those who look after your intellectual capital with those who look after your people? Find out how this works in practice from the Director of People & Knowledge at Lewis silkin whose role combines responsibility for the two functions. Yes, knowledge managers are becoming more strategic but that doesnt mean that the operational day-to-day tasks have gone away. Technology, especially mobile technology, will still play a vital role in assisting internal communication; the development of your people and achieving cost effectiveness. Choose your preferred breakout group option on mobile; client perspectives; metadata or social media for an opportunity to delve deeper into the particular operational areas that are your current focus and attend the panel discussion on how to balance the strategic and operational aspects of your role on a daily basis. 2013 is your year to shine and to take your seat, next to the leaders and the strategists, to drive your firm forward into the new look legal services market of the future. The risk from taking a back seat is too great. The legal services market is consolidating and those firms that do not clarify and strengthen their market position will quickly find themselves without one. To take up this role, you need to arm yourself with an up to date picture of the market and current legal knowledge management best practice and there is no better place to do this than at KM Legal 2013.
I had the pleasure of chairing the 2012 conference and am delighted to be doing the same again this year. The programme for the 2013 event is looking very exciting an interesting mix of horizon scanning sessions, considering the future role of KM within the evolving legal services market, and the ever-useful show and tell case studies everyone relishes. I hope to see you in May!
Lucy Dillon,
KM Legal has been there to support you through all the ups and downs of legal knowledge management over the last fourteen years and you can rely on us again to support you through this next phase too. In such a rapidly changing market you need trustworthy client and commercial insight straight from the horses mouth. At a time when firms must necessarily move in many different directions in order to differentiate their services, the KM role looks likely to become lonelier than ever, so youll also benefit from the opportunity to come together to hear what others are doing and to exchange ideas and experiences. This years inspiration will come in the form of someone who is not only at the forefront of KM thinking, but who has also worked with many organisations across the globe to define their overall business and knowledge strategies. Recognised for his ability to predict future trends, Dave snowden is ahead of the curve, and indeed the paradigm shift, and will open the 2013 conference by taking you out of your comfort zones and inspiring you to think about how the legal services market could look in the future, as well as at how your firm might benefit by taking an agile approach. Back by popular demand, Mark Gould of Addleshaw Goddard and David Fitch of Latham & watkins will follow Dave Snowden to give their perspectives, as senior legal knowledge practitioners, on what all this change means for the sector. We know that you have always valued the client and market insight that we provide at KM Legal and this year is no exception. We will not only
