In this discussion focusing on global legal expansion, special guest Robert C. Bata, Founder and Principal of Warwick Place Legal, joins CM Murray LLP Partners Corinne Staves and Zulon Begum to explore what drove global expansion in 2025, the challenges, lessons learned and what law firms should expect in 2026 and beyond. In particular, Corinne, Zulon and Robert discuss: Global Expansion Trends in 2025: - Middle East and Latin America emerged as major growth hotspots. - Disputes work fuelled much of the international expansion. - Firms focused on domestic consolidation before going cross‑border. What Enables a Successful Expansion or Merger? - Clear strategic purpose and partner alignment. - Early preparation on governance, liabilities and due‑diligence issues. - Upfront planning for tax and regulatory hurdles. Cultural and Remuneration Compatibility: - Culture = collaboration and integration, not “nice chemistry.” - Remuneration models must align or be phased carefully. - Headline PEP isn't the real story; long‑term value is. Beyond Full Merger: Alliances & Other Models: - Alliances can work, but only with strong quality control. - Networks offer reach, not integration. - Verein models remain useful but face growing pressure to evolve as firms seek deeper integration. Outlook for 2026 and Beyond: - Expect continued expansion into the Gulf and Latin America. - More UK-US merger interest on both sides. - Realignment in Asia, with shifts away from China. - Greater pressure for deeper financial integration globally. If you have any questions arising from this recording, or would like to discuss international expansion in more detail, please contact Partners Corinne Staves and Zulon Begum of CM Murray LLP or Robert C. Bata of Warwick Place Legal. Robert C. Bata is the Founder and Principal of WarwickPlace Legal, LLC, a consultancy specialising in cross‑border expansion strategies for leading law firms.

The process approach is recommended by all Management System Standards, and effective implementation is key to drive continual improvement. Processes outline the basic steps needed to complete a task or achieve a certain outcome, and serve to keep things running smoothly and consistently. For those new to ISO Standards, it can be quite daunting to understand what this means in practice. In this episode Ian Battersby explains what a process is in the context of Management systems, how to map processes and the different ways you can visualise a process for communications. You'll learn · What is a Process? · Why are processes needed in Management Systems? · Why should you document your processes? · How do you map a process? · How can you display a process? Resources · Isologyhub · ISO 9004 In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Ian explains the importance of processes in Management systems, how you can effectively map processes and how you can visualise them for further communication. [03:00] Why are processes so important for Management Systems? As ISO 9004 (Quality management - Quality of an organization - Guidance to achieve sustained success) states:- “Organisations deliver value through activities connected within a network of processes. Processes often cross boundaries of functions within the organisation. Consistent and predictable results are achieved more effectively and efficiently when the network of It processes functions as a coherent system.” It doesn't propose a type of process. All organisations are different. But what it does say is that they should be viewed as a system rather than in isolation. It's a key principle of Quality Management and of business, allowing an organisation to manage and control the way it delivers its activities, with predictable results. [05:30] What is a process? Put simply, a process is a set of activities which achieve a specific outcome. Or, to put it another way, it's a series of detailed steps describing how to do a job. [05:40] We should you document your processes?: · To show how to repeat tasks consistently, getting the same result every time · It guides people in how to do their jobs · To allow you to measure that outcomes are as expected · To provide for a structured approach to improvement · To help mobilise new contracts, products services of a similar type which supports business growth. [08:15] How to map a process – There are many different ways you could do this, but a popular method is with process map or process flow. A process map is a series of boxes on a page or screen. Each box represents an activity. The activities are then linked in a sequential order, using arrows. As an example, let's say you have a process which repeats a task until you get the right outcome. The first box would be ‘Start job', this then points to the next box called ‘Perform task'. In turn this points to a third box, which is a question, ‘Did it achieve the desired outcome?'. This would lead to two options: yes and no. So. there are two arrows out this time. If no, we need to learn from it (another box). When we learn from it, we point back to ‘Perform task'. If yes we end the job, which would be another box. Using a diagram such as this, it makes it a lot easier to visualise and follow a process. Many processes will likely be more complicated than this example, but the principle remains the same. [11:40] Keep things simple – Ian's had experiences of companies that insist on bloated process maps that contains hundreds of boxes and arrows that end up making the whole diagram very difficult to follow. This defeats the purpose of process mapping. If you have a lot of complicated processes, it's better to break these down into manageable chunks. [12:30] Process overview: If you're struggling to start, you may want to consider a process overview. This focuses on the main steps on how you run your organisation, so this could be marketing, sales, production and delivery services. From there you can look at each area and focus on the more detailed activities which can be mapped and linked to each other. The ones dealing with the process overview include subject matter experts, departmental heads, functional leads, Senior Management ect… They will help shape the process mapping to ensure the overall delivery is in-line with the organisations' direction. [14:00] A collaborative task: Process mapping shouldn't be done by one person. One person is hardly going to know how each and every aspect of your organisation works. Don't just leave it to your Quality Manager. Leaving this task to someone who's not fully involved in the part of the organisation where the process originates will only end in disaster. They will likely not be aware of small yet vital steps, such as key communication and authorisations. So make sure you involve multiple parties, and key people involved in the areas you're mapping process for. [17:05] Process mapping across departments: Think practically about how you deliver products or services. How people actually do their jobs. This is a very important aspect of processes. Then visualise how each process works: draw it with pencil and paper; throw some Post It notes on a flipchart; put it on a whiteboard and take a photo; even write it out in a Word document. Make it clear. Make it documented: This is essential. This unleashes the power to measure and improve. Documenting something allows you to compare the way things are done to what you expect and to establish whether the outcome is as you expect. [12:30] How processes link with other areas of ISO Standards: Processes are very useful in helping people do their job, but they can also assist with:- Assigning roles and responsibilities. Each box (activity) can be measured for success, performance indicators can be established at individual activity level, or for a process overall. You can see if the process is successful in delivering its intended outcome. The results can then form part of your monitoring and measuring regime as required by Management System standards (clause 9 is all about evaluating performance). You can use them as a basis for audit, which is all about assessing whether you get what you expect. They are also useful in explaining how you deliver to external parties; or demanding how others should do things. Standards also specify that process performance be included in Management Review (9001 9.3.2 c) 3)) – so it really is an unavoidable step towards ISO certification! Lastly, it can also help with clause 10, which is all about improvement. What-if scenarios can be performed by moving activities, lines, adding new ones deleting and predicting the outcome of the overall process. Whichever way you wish to document your processes, by documenting them you have the power to improve them If you'd like any assistance with ISO Implementation, feel free to get in touch with us, we'd be happy to help.

One-in-seven Irish businesses have no women in senior management. Ireland ranks sixth worst of 31 countries surveyed worldwide for companies with no females in senior roles. New research by Grant Thornton shows an increase in the number of firms without female representation in high-up management here. HR Expert Caroline Reidy says it's still hard for women to smash the glass ceiling. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Maeve Sheridan of Western Heard Brewer and Clare ISME Representative & Owner of St Tola's Goat Cheese, Siobhán Ni Gharbhith.

Grant Thornton research has revealed an increase in the number of businesses without female representation in senior management in Ireland. The findings in the annual Women in Business Report - part of the firm's mid-market business survey - found that more than one in seven (16.3%) businesses had no women in senior management roles. These findings reflect an upward trend, as they have increased by almost 5% from last year (11.7%). A further 13.8% of respondents have just one woman on their senior management team. Despite steady progress in recent years, of those Irish businesses surveyed, just over one-third (36.5%) of senior management roles were held by women in 2025. It is promising, however, to see that this figure is up slightly from last year (0.5%+ from 36% in 2024), and Ireland is performing better than the global (34%) and European averages (34.9%). This year marks 21 years of the Women in Business Report, in which Ireland, in 2016, recorded a high of two-fifths of businesses (40.6%) with no women in senior management. Today's report has highlighted that without immediate action, gender parity in senior management roles won't be achieved until 2051 - a stark reminder of the urgency needed to address gender inequality. Evolving Roles While this year's figures are disappointing, there has been some progress. Over the last decade we've seen an upward trajectory and rising percentages of women holding every role that makes up the senior management team. In 2025, Chief Human Resources Officer (48.8%) and Chief Financial Officer (43.8%) are the most common roles held by women in senior management in Ireland. Whereas the two least likely roles for women to hold in senior management in 2025 are CEO (6.2%) and Chairperson (2.5%). Commenting on this year's findings, Amanda Ward, Head of Consulting at Grant Thornton, said: "While it is concerning to see this increase from last year in the number of mid-market businesses reporting no women in senior management, it's important to acknowledge the significant progress made over the past two decades, as reflected in the Women in Business report. This upcoming weekend will mark "International Women's Day", and this research highlights the improvements made while also recognising the steps that still need to be taken to achieve gender parity in the workplace. I would urge business leaders to set bold targets for senior female representation and to support women throughout their career journeys. Retaining and developing talent is crucial. Targets for mentoring, networking, and retention targets are particularly effective at driving diversity, yet are among the least implemented strategies by businesses." Steve Tennant, Managing Partner, Grant Thornton, said: "This year marks our 21st year of tracking gender diversity in Irish businesses. The long view shows meaningful progress, with women now holding 36.5% of senior roles across the mid-market companies we surveyed - ahead of both European and global averages. Gender-balanced leadership correlates with stronger financial performance and better decision-making. We all have a responsibility to ensure we prioritise gender parity and continue to make real, lasting change. At Grant Thornton, we remain dedicated to addressing gender balance through transparent policies, targeted initiatives, and a strong culture of equity and inclusion. Progress requires accountability; and when businesses commit to addressing gender balance through meaningful action and transparent reporting, change will be evident." Gender Equality Strategies Businesses surveyed identified significant benefits to action taken on gender diversity. Firms see their equality strategies and targets as having positive impacts across a range of business performance areas, from commercial factors such as better decision-making, innovation and financial performance through to vital cultural benefits. Not only is this good for individual employees and the companies that they work...
Sandra Nicholson was at the heart of chaos. Whilst Melbourne was under siege during the Gangland Wars, and bushfires wreaked havoc across Victoria, those at the top of Vic Pol were forced to front the media and take responsibility for the intensity surrounding the city.

Sandra joined the service in 1975, and rose through the ranks until her retirement almost 40 years later. Brent Sanders chats with Sandra as she reflects on her career, and the high stakes work that took her from Social Service in NSW, to the second highest-ranking female officer in the history of Victoria Police.

Bribes worth millions, a string of dramatic Melbourne raids, and tension between Rohan, the AFP and the ever powerful Australian Reserve Bank….See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Everyone's heard the phrase, your network is your net worth. Then why do so few mid-career women have the robust network that will get them into senior management? According to McKinsey, even female CEOs have networks that are several times smaller than their male colleagues and the numbers get even worse the farther down the ladder you go. So if men have this all figured out, why is this still something that women shy away from? In this episode, Jill explores the misconceptions that women have about networking and why a personal board of directors can accelerate the path for every woman who wants to rise up into senior management.She shares about the essential mindset shifts that you need to take to be able to go from nay to yay when it comes to this important work and she will help you design your own personal board of directors to save you from going to networking events and having to talk to a room full of strangers or tooting your horn around the company. 02:39 — Your "good work" isn't enough to secure a promotion into senior management05:12 — How to design your personal advisory board so you know what seats you'd like to fill06:57 — The types of people you can consider having on your personal board of directorsBook Your Free Growth Accelerator Call: https://calendly.com/sistersmart/leader— —

Hi I am Sabine Matharu, originally I am from Austria, then moved to UK after university with no money nor a job. So I got to know how it feels to build up a new life from scratch. Luckily things worked out and as life progressed I worked myself up the ladder, worked for top Management Consultancies and later in Senior Management in positions in well known companies. I was travelling most weeks, training 100s of people on different business aspects. Then I had children and my outlook in life changed and I needed a break. I wanted to see my children grow up, do the school runs and be there for them when they needed me. In collaboration with a number of established entrepreneurs, I have put together a range of free resources, larger programmes in shape of bootcamps and mini guides. All show you step by step – in bitesize and actionable format – how to get set up and how to grow your business. https://reachforgreatness.co.uk

This podcast episode discusses the importance of management and delegation within residential treatment programs for children and youth. It highlights the different levels of management within such organizations, including Executive Management responsible for overall leadership, Senior Management overseeing major aspects of the agency's operations, Middle Managers handling specific service units, and Frontline Managers leading shifts. It emphasizes that effective management is essential to provide quality care to the clients. The episode explores various roles within residential programs, such as coordinators responsible for specific tasks like organizing activities or managing facility supplies. It also delves into the role of Key Staff, who work directly with clients, helping with activities of daily living, treatment programming, and more. Delegation is a central theme in the podcast, and it stresses the importance of role clarity, administrative infrastructure, and a strong process for successful delegation and for program development. A five-step model for a delegation process is explained, involving (1) task explanation, including clarification of deliverables, (2) checking the person's understanding of the delegated task or project, (3) reviewing what resources the person can use to achieve the task or project, (4) collaboratively establish a deadline and understanding around asking for an extension if needed, and (5) feedback afterwards on how the project or task delegation went. The episode underscores the need for management to empower staff by clearly defining roles and responsibilities and creating a shared vision for the organization. It also touches on different sources of influences beyond the Authority-Influence that comes from having any particular position within the organization. Additional sources of influence, and power to achieve one's responsibilities, include Relationship-Influence, Power Broker-Influence, Charismatic-Influence, Expert-Influence, and Fame-Influence. Ultimately, this podcast provides insights into the challenges and best practices of managing residential treatment programs, with an emphasis on effective delegation as a key tool for success. It encourages a collaborative and organized approach to improve the quality of care and empower staff at all levels of management.

After the kerfuffle Stigall caused last week in calling attention to Fox News' legal threats to all other media in covering their coming RNC debate, "the suits" gave him a call Friday to have a talk. He gives the details. A viral artist named Oliver Anthony has exploded with the American people over his song "Rich Men of Richmond." Meanwhile, a viral crazy lady on a plane finally apologizes for her bizarre behavior caught on video that Stigall says has caused many to believe was something else entirely. This leads to a bigger discussion of everything from the Maui fires to the Canadian fires, and much of the rest of the news we see and don't see today. Plus former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker responds to the Friday news of the naming of a special council in the Hunter Biden case. - For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/ Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPod Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
