Automates #13 - The one who now embraces failure

Catriona Wolfenden talks us through her journey from reluctant solicitor to Product & Innovation Director at Weightmans.  

Discussing the firm's (much to Ben's fascination) 34-strong Product & Innovation team, Catriona covers:

• Striking the right balance between virtual work and physically getting together with some sharpies and Post-Its.
• Maintaining culture when split across different offices and hybrid working arrangements
• The predicament that there are always way too many product & innovation projects than you can ever service 
• The sometimes 'alien' function of sales within a law firm
• Adapting to wearing a software vendor hat 
• The soft skills to look out for in fresh out of university legal engineers
• Shifting from billable hours to the 'it's ok to fail' mentality of innovation 

And many more topics. Whether you're considering legal career, a law grad, an experienced lawyer looking to cross over to the world of innovation, a supplier or simply a legaltech fanatic, there's something for everyone here, folks!
