When Mary posted a question about the state of legal ops on LinkedIn, she didn't expect to spark such intense debate. But the responses revealed what many have been quietly wondering: has legal operations reached a turning point? In this episode, Mary sits down with Frances Pomposo, Senior Director of Legal Technology Solutions at Cisco, to dig into this thorny question. With her deep experience in tech companies and time on CLOC's board, Frances brings a unique perspective on where legal ops has been—and where it might be heading. In this episode: · The Unicorn Dilemma: Remember when legal ops professionals were expected to do it all? Mary and Frances explore why that "strategic generalist" role seems to be fading, and what that means for the profession. · Splitting at the Seams: As legal ops splinters into specialized roles like data analytics and vendor management, is this evolution or fragmentation? And does it matter? · Hiring Horror Stories: Frances gets real about what happens when companies hire for legal ops without really knowing what they need—and how to avoid this common pitfall. · The Consultant Question: Are companies bypassing internal legal ops teams for external expertise? Mary and Frances tackle this trend head-on. · Going Global: Why the lack of consistent standards for legal ops roles worldwide is becoming a real problem, and what we can do about it. · The Big Question: Can legal ops recapture its revolutionary spirit, or is it destined to become just another corporate function? If you've been feeling the shift in legal ops—or wondering if you're imagining it—this conversation will hit home. Join Mary and Frances for an honest look at where legal ops stands today, and what it'll take to shape its future. Goodwin at HumanX Follow Mary on LinkedIn Rate and review on Apple Podcasts

Described as the new electricity or oil by one person and uranium by the next, there is no doubt that the use (and abuse) of data is as hot a topic for the legal industry, as it is for every other. So why is it so important? Why does it garner such polar opposite views? And how is any of this relevant to the practice and business of law? We spoke with an amazingly talented group of data gurus, all of whom work with data in similar and different ways in the legal industry and asked them to answer these and many more questions. For these folks data is a part of what they do every day. It helps them and their firms/organisations make better decisions. It helps them identify best and next practices for their businesses and, it supports them in delivering better services and products, faster and cheaper without compromising quality for their clients. In discussion with Chris Maher - Legal Counsel – Products, Marketing & IP, Legal & Corporate Affairs, Telstra; Aidan Parsons - Business Development and Operations Manager at LOD | Legal Operations; Alex Rosenrauch - Legal Process Specialist, Telstra; and Tae Royle - Head of Legal Technology Solutions, Ashurst, we covered topics including: Getting some terminology straight like big data, unstructured and structured data, predictive analytics and data analytics. Whether or not data is the next best thing (the good oil/electricity) or toxic (like uranium) and, whether or not that is all a matter of perspective and/or use. How data is being used in legal practice – the many ways e.g. to improve efficiencies of processes and systems, as a tool in legal practice e.g. e-discovery, due diligence, etc., as an integral part of a new take on risk management, and in some other areas too like business development and talent management. How data is re-shaping legal practice from all perspectives – for lawyers and clients - and, because of its emerging importance and pervasiveness, whether it has consequently given rise to a new, emerging legal profession of legal data specialists. What's stopping the legal profession from embracing data analytics? How a law firm/department can start to construct a Data Management Plan/Strategy or begin planning to manage data. How a law firm/legal department can encourage the change to a data driven mindset and culture in the legal industry – and how closely aligned that is to a culture of continuous improvement. And finally, the big questions for the legal industry - what happens if it does not embrace the use of data analytics in legal practice in the near future? Thank you so much Chris, Aidan, Alex and Tae – can't wait until we get to hang out with our favourite data gurus again!
