Worth Reading – The AI Strategy Divide in Law: Thomson Reuters Survey Says Strategic AI Adoption Is the Key to AI Success

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This shouldn’t surprise anyone:

A study out today from Thomson Reuters reveals a stark division within the legal profession: When it comes to reaping the benefits of AI, organizations with clear AI strategies are dramatically outperforming those without them, creating an increasingly pronounced competitive divide.

The challenge, of course, is who is driving the strategy? If firm leadership isn’t driving it, you could wind up with AI adoption being pushed from the ground up, and strategic decisions being left to IT personnel or a Tech committee that lacks the authority to make those decisions. In the vacuum of leadership on AI adoption, though, someone will step in.

It just might not be the people who are making the most strategic decisions for your firm.

  • Training, Learning and Development Folks – The Pressure is On

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    They aren’t wrong. With the talent gaps being what they are in a number of industries right now, organizational leaders are turning to development and training professionals for help. Let’s face it, hiring gets a lot simpler if we have confidence that our culture and our internal resources will help these new folks that we bring in grow and continue to offer more and more value. We don’t need to wait for someone who ticks every single box that we are looking for, we can find the folks who are available now who tick the majority of them, knowing that our environment will make sure they tick the others in time.

    Doing that successfully is a massive advantage in the competition for talent. Your investment pays off.

    But, it puts the pressure squarely on those of us working in training and development, doesn’t it? We have to make that investment pay off.

    Linked – Microsoft Reduces Office’s Functionality to Push You Towards Copilot

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    This is all part of the “Copilot everywhere” strategy that we are all part of, whether we want it or not

  • Pay Them Enough to Care Or Stop Expecting Them To

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    You still have people performing tasks in exchange for a paycheck. They have no reason to feel like they matter. They’re ultimately replaceable. You remind them of that in a million little ways, then expect them to feel dedicated to the work your company does. That makes no sense.
