Miller was asked why @hp partnered with @lawgeex. She says they had looked at #AI for years but the GC suggested looking at a way to #innovate #contractreview. During the pilot, they realized it could provide some new oppys for Legal. #legalcontinuity

If you're not afraid of feedback, feedback can make your team and solutions stronger says @hp's Miller. #legalcontinuity

Miller says "what a gift" that her team knows they can honestly speak up about their thoughts on a proposed change or innovation with which they don't agree. #innovation #legalcontinuity

Me in my living room right now listening to the amazing leadership above! #legalcontinuity @hp

Y'all...I love this slide. I hope all companies have leaders focused on #employeewellness right now and empathetic towards the challenges we are all facing in #COVID #quarantine. #legalcontinuity #emotionalintelligence

Miller says benefit of doing all this #legalcontinuity work before #COVID is that as a leader she's been able to focus on her employees' well-being, lean into @hp's values of empathy and flexibility, and ensure the lawyers are taken care of and feel supported. #attorneywellness

Miller suggests mixing static and dynamic ways into Legal; i.e. they've built some portals but business folks also have ability to email #NDAs directly into @lawgeex. #legalcontinuity

Miller says don't be afraid of mixing high-tech and some low-tech. So items are backed up on the cloud but if you can't get into VPN, or your work PC and can only get on your phone, ensure you can find your clients & they can find you. #legalcontinuity @HP @lawgeex_

#legaltech can ensure you have adherence to your global legal policies. If you're thinking about #legalcontinuity in a 360-degree view, this is a great way to help ensure that happens even when it can seem challenging, says @hp's Miller.

But @hp also has really leaned into using #legaltech. They use some common workflow teams (Microsoft Teams and OneNote) and also @lawgeex_ to help build global legal policies, processes to implement those, and a checkpoint to ensure process is followed. #legalcontinuity

In 2019, during another big reorganization, @hp focused on diversifying Legal in 2 ways--1) globally and 2) with technology--to help them continue to diversify and grow scale. They moved from country-based Legal teams to cross-country centers of excellence. #legalcontinuity

Miller says having this training and processes in place helped them adjust to and weather significant disruptions in 2016 in Houston and Puerto Rico where @hp had significant operations. #legalcontinuity
November 16, 2024 at 8:56 PM
In 2016, @hp learned all about #leansixsigma and started a continuous improvement process; it was a great growth oppy for the Legal team to learn more skills and meet their challenges from a position of strength. #legalcontinuity
November 16, 2024 at 8:46 PM
Miller says when lawyers say they can't map out their process (those who suffer from the "artisan complex"), suggest getting some data to support their anecdotes and "instincts" #legalcontinuity #leansixsigma @hp
November 16, 2024 at 8:36 PM
YES-all this! "We looked for a team culture where people were not afraid to make mistakes. If people failed, they still learned from it." The ENTIRE Legal industry needs to listen to @hp's Suzanne Miller! #legalcontinuity #lawgeex
November 16, 2024 at 8:27 PM
Miller explains @HP legal team had already focused on @legalcontinuity when there was a corporate reorganization that resulted in the team split into 2 groups a few years ago. Legal team made choice to "lean into" any crisis that came their way the past 5 years. #legalcontinuity
November 16, 2024 at 8:17 PM
Use these opportunities, during a crisis, to build an intentional culture of trust on your team, says @HP's director and managing counsel, Suzanne Miller. #legalcontinuity #legalops

This webinar today is really a story, @HP' Suzanne Miller, says about how their business became "anti-fragile" & we'll discuss employee wellness as well. #legalcontinuity #legaltech
November 16, 2024 at 8:07 PM
Once you've applied such an analysis, Miller says you can have a business-focused conversation on the best way to approach tasks--with outside counsel? your Legal team? Others in the business? #legalcontinuity @HP
November 16, 2024 at 8:07 PM
Miller recommends focusing on the people who can do a lot of work in Boxes 3 & 4---and instead of taking on biggg projects, focus on smaller scrums or "agile" sprints. #agile #legalcontinuity @lawgeex_

It is time. @HP @lawgeex_ #legalcontinuity #legaltech
November 16, 2024 at 7:48 PM
When applying this framework, @HP found #legalcontinuity really came down to the people--they found their "agility players" who would identify tasks and processes that the company may no longer need to do or find value in. Those folks are open to new ideas and change. #lawgeex
November 16, 2024 at 7:48 PM
I'm warming up my live-tweeting fingers @HP @lawgeex_ #lawtwitter @appellatetwitter! #legalcontinuity #legaltech #LawGeex
November 16, 2024 at 7:38 PM
Ooh. Suzanne Miller is displaying a 4-box framework @hp has used to analyze all the work the Legal team is currently doing and how any of those could be transformed or stopped and can see how everyone may be doing work differently. #legalcontinuity #lawgeex
