Buying the latest #technology doesn’t always mean you’re moving forward. Do you ever wonder why all those shiny new tools don’t seem to fix the persistent issues? This isn’t just about technology and applications; it’s about people, smart planning and leadership that’s as committed to evolving as it is to providing top-notch #legalservices. Join Debbie Foster on May 29 at the webinar “The Technology Trap: Rethinking Digital Transformation” to gain insight into practical steps to move past the #tech hype, build a culture that’s all about smart change and shape a #digitalstrategy that helps you chart a path to real digital transformation. ALA members only pay $39 ($99 for nonmembers). Register today: https://lnkd.in/gMzAqb4C. #ALABuzz #Webinar
