Episode 82 - Automation Mini Series – Episode 3: What should I automate? How to choose the right project.

In this podcast, the third episode of seven in CLI’s Digital Literacy Series: Automation Mini Series, Tom Dreyfus, CEO and Co-founder from Josef asked and, together with his guests answered, the question for legal practitioners  – “What should I automate?”

Tom was joined by guests Anna Golovsky, Executive Manager, Legal and Company Secretariat Operations from IAG and Gary Adler, Chief Digital Officer from MinterEllison - legal operations and digital gurus - who shared their experience, provided practical tips and case studies from their automation journeys from in-house legal departments and law firms.

Topics covered in the session included:

• identifying automation opportunities in your day-to-day work
• process mapping to isolate sticking points as you move forward
• analysing successful case studies for experience sharing and inspiration as you progress (analogous inspiration)
• the importance of identifying and addressing definitions, team, scope, transparency, challenges and obstacles
• emerging areas of legal automation: automated guidance or legal advice; document automation; workflow & process automation; intake & triage tools; and education & inspiration
• how to get everyone (inside and outside your legal business) involved, energised and focussed on automation (and more broadly, innovation)
