Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions Outlines Steps for Corporate Legal Departments to Drive Effective Technological Change Management in New eBook

CLDs can best manage change through advanced technology, domain expertise and success management.

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#WolterKluwer–Even when corporate legal departments (CLDs) implement new legal technology to improve their overall performance, many are not fully prepared to adopt the product or solution and risk becoming less productive overall. To avoid this scenario, Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions advises CLDs to manage change through advanced technology, domain expertise and success management, outlining the winning strategy in a new electronic book (eBook), “Make Change Happen.”

The eBook features client success stories and interviews with several ELM Solutions executives who provide their unique perspectives and expertise on an array of change management subjects. These topics include how advanced technologies are helping to solve challenges; advice on how to introduce change in an organization; the importance of adaptability and communications; and how success is defined and measured. It outlines practical recommendations on how to manage change in each of these areas.

“We are laser-focused on providing the most advanced legal analytics solutions, giving clients technology and tools to streamline efficiencies, control costs and make better decisions,” said Barry Ader, VP, Marketing and Product Marketing, ELM Solutions. “Implementing any new technology – even one with significant benefits – inevitably presents a change-management challenge. We partner with our clients, their law firms and other end-users to prepare them for positive and sustained transformation.”

The power of people and communication is what drives technology change and innovation. The application of AI technology in the legal profession has become an increasingly important tool for improved efficiency, productivity, and cost management. Without a robust change plan in place and employee trust, CLDs may not fully realize all the benefits available to them.

“In any successful transformation, you’ve got to bring people along, so they are bought into the idea and the vision to make things better,” said Alyza Tarmohamed, General Manager, LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer, ELM Solutions, one of several experts featured in the eBook. “This starts with communication and really ensuring that the people inside your organization understand the rationale for change early on, which is critical. Then you have to be able to demonstrate the benefit for them throughout the transition process, so they are part of the successful outcome.”
