Creating a legal ops strategy with Stephanie Corey

Stephanie, Alex and Elliot discuss creating a legal ops strategy, including:

* What a legal ops strategy is and how it underpins a legal department's technology and operational plan

* How to develop the plan, including the extent to which it should be a top-down vs bottom-up endeavour

* Why it's important for a legal ops leader to be attuned to the needs of the legal department

* Which stakeholders should be interviewed as part of the planning process and whether that task is best done by internal resources or external consultants

* How to assess your organisation's legal ops maturity

* What to do after your plan has been developed, including how to prioritise different projects and initiatives

* The importance of tracking and reporting your progress

We also discuss Stephanie's role in co-founding CLOC (the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium) and her previous business selling zombie, werewolf and other monster repellents.
