Nick Milton's diagram and explanation of the three models of knowledge sharing have me thinking about the evolution of law. I was thinking about different firms and which model might fit them best. Then I had a thought that maybe these three models represent the evolution of law and the changes of the "new normal." Lawyers may think they OWN the law (and maybe they once did) but in today's reality do they? I'm willing to concede that in some small areas they do. The second model, lawyers as AUTHORITIES, the audit and validation description works for me in many areas. If you start to deconstruct/chunk the work being done, farming out the pieces to the most appropriate position (not always an attorney) and level, does that fit the COORDINATOR role of the Multiflow model? What's your law firm model? Read more at Knoco stories: 3 models of Knowledge Sharing - the role of the centre

In his newest post, Brian Inkster says he didn't realize how far behind the tech curve BigLaw is. He tags BigLaw on the laggards curve, SmallLaw under innovation and NewLaw as jumping the chasm of early adopters. I will take exception to one of the things he said, "There is an acknowledgement that the cloud makes NewLaw 'as agile, if not more agile, than Big Law'. I think much more agile." It does not. Agility has little to do with the platform, and much to do with how you use it. There are agile firms who use premise equipment. There are awkward/sluggish/lethargic/stiff/clumsy firms using the cloud. People, process, work flows - these are where your agility is created. Choosing only the technology will fail every time.

Gina Passarella has a must read article for all law firms - not just the CIOs but the COOs and Managing Partners as well. I love the way Gina started out with the focus on the clients. My favorite quotes include: "We're now regulated by our clients." and "They do audits and if you don't fix the problems ... [clients say they] will have no choice but to withhold work from you."
Judi Flournoy, ITLA LegalSEC Council Chair, all-around smart cookie and politically astute CIO ("friction" - good one Judi!) is quoted extensively. The editor noted, "This is the first article in a series on law firms' efforts to secure client data." I look forward to the rest of the series.

With this mentality, we're all doomed. This is yet another reason to avoid consumer technology at your law firm. Security is not something to be avoided or bolted on later, but rather baked in from the beginning - at all levels. Read more at Law Technology News: Start-Ups Are Neglecting Data Security
