Description

No matter where you look, the world is growing increasingly complex. Whether it’s climate change, foreign election interference, global financial crises, healthcare delivery systems, or the cockpit of a modern jetliner, the complexity is accelerating. For legal teams, it’s magnified — terabytes of ediscovery, millions of documents to review and produce, and armies of attorneys involved in litigation. As teams expand, communications silos are created and inhibit successful outcomes. 

Law is inherently collaborative, and good collaborative practices are necessary to manage the complexity of today’s legal challenges. It’s essential to create a
collaborative environment that champions insight, discovery, and criticism. As MIT professor Michael Schrage argues, “Successful collaborators don’t just work with each other; they work together through a shared space.”
