Day 2 Agenda

2:20 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: CHANGING TACK: CREATING THE CONDITIONS FOR LASTING CHANGE

Successful transformation in legal and compliance depends on having the right playbook to turn new tools, processes, and expectations into sustainable ways of working. Sharpening that playbook requires a deliberate approach to building capability across the function, through effective training, clear guidance, knowledge sharing, and ongoing support. By creating repeatable models for adoption and continuous improvement, teams can move beyond initial implementation and ensure new practices deliver lasting value as business needs, regulatory expectations, and technology continue to shift.

  • Prepare for what comes next by identifying the capabilities and behaviors required to support continuous transformation
  • Move from knowledge to action by exploring how organizations turn training and guidance into meaningful changes in day-to-day practice
  • Strengthen long-term adaptability by developing approaches that allow teams to evolve as priorities, tools, and expectations change
