Breaking the Cycle: Tactics to Change your Thinking (and your firm's)

Event	Breaking the Cycle: Tactics to Change your Thinking (and your firm's)
Date	Wednesday 18 October
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	We all have unconscious bias in decision making. The problem is that we don’t know where our unconscious bias lies. Unchecked unconscious bias at work could be detrimental to your firm. Recruitment and promotion are two areas in law firms where the negative impacts of unconscious bias can be seen, and in particular towards female lawyers and those in management roles. Diversity is a key agenda for many law firms today, but many are failing to put it into practice. This is despite research that continually shows diversity benefits the bottom line. Amanda Ferguson and Melissa Penfold from Hudson’s talent management team will discuss the hidden flaw that lie in all of us, how to bridge the unconscious bias gap and how to break the cycle of bias in your firm and limit its effects on your decision making and leadership.

Event Overview	Many of the processes, systems, values and business models that organisations use were designed for the Industrial age. Science now tells us that these approaches don’t work in the Intelligence age. As leaders our approach needs to change. The reality is that we exist in the VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world. The skills that we need to thrive are very different that in any other time in history. For our organisations to succeed into the future we need to become much more conscious of how we work together to optimise outcomes. As leaders we need to change. Illuminate is focused on helping organisations adjust and adapt to the new world. We help people think, feel and behave in a way that increases performance. In this workshop we will explore: Cognitive behavioural psychology of leadership Authority cue and influence Leadership Styles How trust and confidence in colleagues impacts the workplace Build and maintain positive workplace relationships Emotional Intelligence Fostering Employee Engagement Cognitive Frames and the formation of biases Awareness of unconscious thoughts and biases Our workshops are designed to improve leaders. We create lightbulb moments which will help you both personally and professionally.

Presented By Robyna May, Practice Manager, Estate First Lawyers Robyna has always been fascinated by the intersection between law and IT, with degrees in both. She has worked as a software developer, a project manager, an IT manager, a Knowledge director, a social media manager, a consultant and is presently Practice Manager at Estate First Lawyers.

Over her seventeen years in the industry she has seen the role of the in-house technology team change drastically. Whereas once the IT team was doing a good job if no-one spoke ill about them, now they need to be at the forefront of a firms’ innovation strategy. Technology moved from a back-office cost through to an opportunity for differentiation. Now it lies the foundation for the creation of diverse income streams and closer relationships with clients and business partners. As an early adopter of social media and the editor of a successful parenting blog, she has coached lawyers in their social media branding and how to leverage social media for closer relationships with clients. Steven Tyndall, Managing Director, Legal IT Management Consultant, NextLegal Forming NextLegal in 2014, Steven previously led the internal IT function for progressive and independent Australian law firms, Lander & Rogers and McCullough Robertson. Steven presents regularly and is often published on legal technology related topics.

Design Thinking for Law Firms

Design Thinking………to create better solutions

Event	Design Thinking for Law Firms
Date	Tuesday, 28 November 2017
Start Time	12.30pm AWST
End Time	2.00pm AWST
Event Location	Perth
Host Venue Details	Macquarie Bank, Ground Floor Conference Room, 235 St Georges Terrace Perth
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	Increasingly complex times make innovation and collaboration vital to all types of business. Both of these principles are essential components of Design Thinking. Design Thinking is a contemporary and innovative approach to devising strategy and managing change. It helps people and organisations cut through complexity, innovate, imagine the future and drive a more thoughtful, human approach to business. It has enabled some of the world’s most successful companies to continuously innovate, adapt and grow - think Google, Apple and Airbnb. Stanford Law School has in fact integrated Design Thinking into the curriculum - taking a creative, experimental, and user-centred approach to how legal services are provided. Innovation and collaboration are essential components of Design Thinking – effectively integrating the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success. Some of the best new services and products are the result of collaborating directly with clients who can provide an invaluable perspective into what really matters to them, resulting in solutions with greater buy-in and support as well as deeper and more enduring relationships. User-driven legal process design has the potential to radically change the delivery of legal services. Our presenter Dee Roche, is a high energy ‘Design Thinker’, trained in methods developed by IDEO ExperiencePoint, a collaborative training partnership. During the presentation Dee will: Discuss the process of Design Thinking and its importance in changing environments Demonstrate how the Design Thinking approach creates and accelerates better solutions to the complex challenges facing business and society Share a range of human-centred creative design tools to deliver new breakthrough ideas Show how to assume a ‘Beginners Mindset’ - imagining the ability to turn abstract ideas into practical applications around a challenge that small to medium sized law firms are facing
