Strategy formulation is the creation of a unique and distinctive positioning of legal departments and legal service providers. It consists of a set of aligned actions and initiatives that are required to achieve the identified goals and strategic priorities within an agreed timeframe. It is based on a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of the operational environment, stakeholder needs, capabilities, competencies, and resources. It requires leadership to make trade-offs – to decide what to do and what not to do.

Change and Transformation
Implementing the strategic initiatives a legal department or legal service provider has decided to pursue, relies on leadership’s and people’s potential to adopt new mindsets and behaviour. Driving successful change and transformation requires leaders to unite teams behind a joint idea of the organization’s future – and onboard them to the journey forward. Understanding an organization’s values, culture and identity is just the starting point. Compelling narratives, comprehensive change architectures, leadership programs, coaching and mentoring frameworks ensure that behavioural changes beneficial to new strategies are actually achieved.
Governance, Risk and Compliance
The ability for leaders to make and execute decisions with speed and precision in an ever more complex world, with global structures and transactions, combined with the transparency of social media, is absolutely vital.
