  • Learn cross-functional skills that can be applied even beyond law (i.e. design thinking, agile methodology, lean design).
  • Learn strategic transformation skills, how to put together a digitalisation strategy and implement it in your firm.
  • Course focuses on practical skills that can add value to a legal practitioner from early on in their careers. Skills and knowledge from the course can be used to create improvements in work processes even at small scale, and can be scaled up to organisation-wide transformation.
