This InfoPAK examines the concept of organizational effectiveness and how corporate counsel can use its principles to effectively develop an international, “world-class” legal department. The InfoPAK focuses primarily on “soft” organizational development issues, including those relating to development of a shared vision and organizational culture for the legal department, and development of the people who make up the department. The InfoPAK begins with a discussion of the important foundational step of aligning the legal department’s priorities with the organization’s business strategy and developing a corresponding shared vision for the department. Discussions of successful management of client relationships and internal departmental issues including leadership issues and team management follow. Because change is the one constant in today’s legal department, the InfoPAK also discusses change management and creating a “one team” culture. Finally, it discusses metrics and measurement tools for managing organizational development.

We have 10 state comprehensive consumer privacy laws governing the use of personal information, and more are expected to pass this year. The continuing promulgation of these consumer privacy laws make it clear the US is going through a fundamental shift in its philosophy about data privacy. Join us to learn about what these news laws are trying to protect, where they are coming from, and how to create a foundation from which to analyze and understand their requirements.
