The Technology Trap: Rethinking Digital Transformation
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? Or how to get your team on board with changes they don’t always love?
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 legal services. In this webinar, you’ll walk away with practical steps to move past the tech hype, build a culture that’s all about smart change and shape a digital strategy that helps you chart a path to real digital transformation.
