Contemporary legal practice may be tech fuelled but its also data driven. It's also increasingly less about imparting knowledge and more about sharing experience. The combination of knowledge and data analytics has created a new synergy that is guiding and even predicting where and how best to apply what we know to what we do as lawyers and allied legal professionals. It's spawned a whole new way to make decisions - more targeted, more accurate, more agile, better, faster and cheaper!
In this podcast on Making Legal Decisions Differently – Knowledge management, data analytics and so much more…, Terri Mottershead, Executive Director, Centre for Legal Innovation (Australia, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific), was joined by an international panel of leaders and doers in this space from Australia and the USA:
- Carolyn Austin, Director of Knowledge and Practice Support, K&L Gates (Australia)
- Jon Metcalf, Principal Data Scientist, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (USA)
- Beth Patterson, Director, ESPconnect (Australia)
Topics discussed included:
- What is knowledge management and data analytics?
- What do knowledge management and data specialists do?
- Is data important or all things in all types of legal practice, and if so, why?
- What’s the relationship between tech, data and knowledge management?
- How and where are knowledge management and data analytics impacting legal practice?
Carolyn, Jon and Beth – now we know knowledge management and data is this much fun, we’ll all be calling you – thank you for a fabulous conversation!
