    Artikel från VQ Forum med huvudtalaren Susan Hacketts budskap om advokaternas nya verklighet:… http://fb.me/1N2qgs09o
  28. CHARLES CHRISTIAN, CEO and Editor-In-Chief of Legal Technology, talks about the “more for less challenge”

  29. pamstorr
    Now the “more for less challenge” by @ChristianUncut – technology is a tool for implementing a strategy…NOT the strategy itself! #VQForum
  30. HackettInHouse
    @ChristianUncut #VQForum: the failure of most systems isn’t a failure of tech, but of poor implementation or inconsistent adoptn
  31. HackettInHouse
    @ChristianUncut #VQForum: P-C-P-C T … People, Culture, Process, Change, Then Technology: if you do it the opp way, you’ll fail.
  32. dmfitch
    Look at your organisations people, culture, process and change before you get to technology – Charles Christian #VQForum
  33. dmfitch
    Agree with @ChristianUncut that buying IT is not a strategy. We have to understand requirements and problems we’re trying to solve #VQForum
  34. HackettInHouse
    @ChristianUncut #VQForum: again, understanding work flow & process, as well as the result you wish to drive, is what stymies most lawyers.
  35. dmfitch
    Deconstructing legal service is important (a practical point is that lawyers find that analysis difficult to do) #VQForum
  36. pamstorr
    .@ChristianUncut “Let’s talk about socks”…. law is all about business – pricing & branding. know your market! #VQForum
  37. lawtechfutures
    @christianuncut – if you can do a 6 hour job in 2 hours, do you bill for 2 hours or bill for the 6 hour value? #VQForum #legalit
  38. HackettInHouse
    @ChristianUncut #VQForum: he’s right – savings in greater lawyer efficiency are not just monetary: there’s value in going home for dinner.
  39. HackettInHouse
    @ChristianUncut #VQForum: knowledge management suffers from title soup – the job is defined and rolles performed differently at many firms
  40. HackettInHouse
    @ChristianUncut #VQForum: lawyers have such a poor grasp of the finances of their practices that they can’t value their work’s worth
  41. iinek
    @ChristianUncut at #VQForum : a good case management system is also a risk & KM management system!
  42. VQab
    Thank you @ChristianUncut for a great overview of “more for less” legal tech challenges – buying an IT system is not a Strategy at #VQForum
