Judgment in uncertain situations is critical for all attorneys, whether in-house counsel or a law firm partner. This workshop is highly practical and aims to strengthen your leadership judgment, helping you make fast, clearer, and more defensible calls in complex situations:

• Operating in VUCA contexts
• Navigating the tension between intuition and logic
• Balancing risk vs. certainty when the data are incomplete
• The predictable mistakes that really smart people consistently make
• How to ensure that group decisions are made effectively

As the world is changing so too are the demands being placed on lawyers and legal teams.  It is imperative that we apply a wider business lens to decision-making and take a broad range of factors into account when providing advice and expertise to the business. The day will provide you with greater financial awareness and understanding to enable you to participate more confidently in business discussions with your colleagues across your respective organisations.  The day will also provide you with a range of strategic tools and methodologies with which to evaluate your own business context, resulting in a more holistic perspective which you will then be able to apply to current and future opportunities.

The human brain has a complex relationship with ‘new’.  With advances in technology and the challenges associated with different ways of working, we all need to learn how to deal with the uncertainty and inconvenience that any change brings. This session provides valuable insights into how the human brain deals with change and what is needed to get the best out of ourselves and others as we learn how to navigate an increasingly uncertain and unfamiliar environment. The session will provide an overview of how the world has changed in the last few years and consider that this means from a brain perspective.
 
The group will experience what their brains can and cannot do and leading them to a better understanding of what we can do to face the future, whatever it holds. The focus of the session will be on providing practical and simple takeaways that the team will be able to apply immediately.
