Host Venue Details	Online via webinar

Event Overview	After Action Reviews (AARs) are structured debriefs where project team members discuss what worked, what didn't work and what should be done next time. Pioneered by the US military, and now used by many corporations and NGOs, the application of AARs in law firms remains limited, with just 15% of firms undertaking regular AARs. This session examines the case for AARs as a powerful tool to improve productivity, collaboration and innovation. We'll also share how to make them work in your firm, including overcoming cultural barriers.

This year the 2018 ALPMA Salary and HR Issues Survey provided a further breakdown of salaries by State, firm size and practice areas, as we continue to tailor the information to firms in the WA market.

Strategy - Looking for your Sweet Spot with John Hale

Can you say what your strategy is?

Event	Strategy - Looking for your Sweet Spot with John Hale
Date	Wednesday 23 May 2018
Start Time	12.30pm AEST
End Time	2.00pm AEST
Event Location	Brisbane
Host Venue Details	Kindly hosted by Alliance Partner Queensland Law Society Level 2, 179 Ann Street, Brisbane QLD 4000
Regional Hubs	If you are unable to attend at the host location you can join local members at 18+ regional hubs across Australia and New Zealand or participate online from your desktop.
Event Overview	Profitability arises from two sources. The first is industry attractiveness, which in the case of the Australian Legal Market has been one of stagnation and decline. The second is value differentiation, and this is currently being driven by price-competition, client switching, specialization, process/collaborative and cognitive technologies and new entrants. There is also growing market share competition at the top end of town. All law firms must keep moving. Winning moves help us stay profitable. Losing moves mean we may not survive. Deciding not to move, is a valid move, if it is done consciously. Firms who ‘fall asleep at the wheel’ erode profitability and may join the ranks of those that disappear. Today, more than ever, firms must be customer-facing, have a unique and unbeatable value proposition and become truly tech-savvy. Join John Hale, Conference Speaker and Strategy Expert to understand what your next move should be. John will share the secrets to finding your ‘sweet spot’, how to craft a relevant strategic intent and why winning strategies change over time. He will reveal circumstances where winning requires either staking out new white spaces, revitalising old trails, exiting businesses, consolidating or slow continuing improvement. John will help you: Find your professional sweet spot and that of your firm. Connect customer value to profit. Choose the right strategic approach. Learn the syntax of an effective strategy.

Regional Hubs	If you are unable to attend at the host location you can join local members at 18+ regional hubs across Australia and New Zealand or participate online from your desktop.
Event Overview	The benefits of QA certification include improved management systems, greater efficiencies and service that come with compliance, and cross checking of processes against industry standards. Law firms that have benefited say QA works best when it is embedded in everything the firm does. In WA the Law Society administers a Quality Practice Standard that “recognises firms that have developed and adhere to documented internal processes designed to improve client satisfaction and avoid wastage”. Firms can then leverage this in their marketing collateral and they qualify for an insurance discount. There are two firms (including Integra Legal) in Western Australia that currently also hold ISO 9001 certification. There are 35 firms across NSW, VIC and QLD certified to Law 9000 which is developed by SAI Global (Standards Australia) and QL Incorporated, in conjunction with the NSW Law Society and the College of Law. Currently there are no firms certified to LAW 9000 in Western Australia. The panellists will: Explain how the QPS can assist firms in meeting the requirements for the implementation and maintenance of appropriate management systems pursuant to the Legal Profession Act 2008 Sections 104 and 134 for incorporated legal practices and multi-disciplinary practices (Julie Ots) Run through objectives for good management practice as outlined by the Office of the Legal Services Commissioner NSW (Julie Ots) Provide coalface insights into HHG and Integra Legal’s experience with QA systems, how it impacts their management systems and culture, drives innovation and differentiates them in the market place.

Presented By Mel Lyon, Business Development Consultant \| Hive Legal Melissa is a Business Development specialist committed to assisting law firms and legal professionals develop and utilise client focussed business development skills to build strategic client bases and strong and authentic professional profiles. She believes in being brave enough to do things differently, the power of purpose and finding your ‘why’, bringing empathy to the way the legal profession works (for those in the profession and those we provide services to), recognising and valuing the skills of all of those who make up the profession ... not just lawyers and the very real benefits that true collaboration brings. She has many years of experience in legal practice, including as a partner of a law firm. She has also held senior business development roles, including managing BD teams and leading numerous projects and programs at a top tier legal firm. Melissa now works with Hive Legal, an innovative New Law firm which has disrupted the legal profession by introducing value pricing, truly flexible work practices and technology based solutions for its clients. Working in this innovative environment has inspired Melissa to develop a very different approach to BD and innovation programs based on a design thinking framework and the power of purpose (HiveThinkP). She was also named Business Development Professional of the Year 2017 at the Australian Law Awards.
