Overview
Law firms are not short on tools, strategy or ambition. Yet many change initiatives quietly lose momentum after the initial push. Leaders know adoption is a human challenge, but awareness alone has not made change stick. The result is bursts of enthusiasm, inconsistent follow-through and rising change fatigue.
Drawing on lived experience in legal AI and technology programs, this session explores the small leadership and environmental design choices that determine whether new ways of working actually take hold. It introduces a practical adoption lens built on three human fundamentals: curiosity, habit formation, and supportive environments.
Through short interactive exercises and real-world examples, attendees spot hidden blockers to adoption, identify the human skills that matter most for capability, and design simple habits and environments that embed learning without adding new programs or workload.
