Presented in partnership with Law Department Management Network and the Northeast Chapter:

Change is hard and as in-house counsel, you are pulled in many directions. Buy-in on anything from new technologies to new or improved processes often feels impossible. This course will remind you that sometimes you need to slow down to speed up. Adopting these process improvement disciplines will enable you and your team to efficiently move through the steps of identifying, analyzing, and improving existing processes. Then, change management techniques can help with communicating the impacts of those improvements to all those who are directly impacted in a way that that creates collective ownership of a new or improved process. When the right projects are identified and optimized, the right change management approach can be executed to influence the right people, lead to meaningful outcomes for the business and free up more time of your to engage on strategic matters.

In this program, attendees will:

• dig deeper into process improvement and continuous improvement methodologies
• learn how process improvement and change management will enable a clearer path to the right projects to work on
• understand the "how" to utilize both internal and external resources to push through change
