8:50 - 9:50 - Focus: How to Focus In An Unfocused World | Big vs. Busy

It seems impossible to focus in this unfocused world. Yet, the main difference between winners and losers in this era of quantum change and distraction is … Focus. Winners are constantly focusing on BIG things versus BUSY things. While it sounds simple, it’s not easy. The #1 killer of promising careers, teams, and businesses is a lack of focus. We either try to do too much, get easily distracted, or put our time, treasures, and talent into the wrong buckets. Qualman shares insights from his #1 Bestselling book, The Focus Project, providing practical techniques to make focus a daily habit. Learning to focus in this unfocused world is a modern superpower. How and what we focus on today will determine our growth and success tomorrow.

9:50 - 10:25 - Change Management + Lawyers: Why Trying to Persuade a Persuader Doesn't Work

Effective adoption is the key to recognizing value from our KM&I initiatives. But trying to persuade lawyers, who are professional persuaders, rarely works as an effective strategy to build adoption of new tools and ways of working. In this fireside chat, we'll explore the psychological research that explains why persuasion tactics might actually make your lawyers more resistant to change and share practical change strategies to leverage instead.

1:50 - 2:25 - If They Build It, the Practice Will Come: Getting to Adoption from Different Angles

Widespread adoption is the goal of nearly all innovation initiatives. This is true whether you’re introducing new technologies, processes, resources or a combination of any/all of the above. Too often, achieving widespread (and sustained) adoption seems like an impossible dream, but it doesn’t have to be. Our panelists will share real-life case studies that highlight how they turned this dream into a reality by engaging lawyers from the top down and the bottom up.  An interactive discussion will dig into the challenges they faced, what they learned from each experience and how they are applying those lessons going forward. Audience participation will be encouraged so bring your questions and be prepared to share. Everyone will walk away with actionable insights and practical tips for introducing innovation and winning hearts and minds in the process.

3:15 - 3:55 - Use Cases, Not Theory: How Deterministic KM Augments Probabilistic LLMs

How can integrating deterministic structured data (e.g., tags) with probabilistic language models (e.g., GPT, Claude) improve legal tasks? A 15-year lawyer will explore practical legal use cases where LLMs and data structure enhances legal work, mitigating hallucinations and biases in favor of deterministic (reliable) outputs. Learn how the SALI LMSS Legal Data Standard, with its over 17,000 tags, augments LLMs to deliver outputs that are more reliable and helpful than "traditional KM" or LLMs separately.
