innovation and collaboration in the law
Bruce MacEwen of Adam Smith, Esq. recently announced the publication of InnoVaction (pdf), the College of Law Practice Management’s new e-zine covering innovation in the practice of law. Among the noted and notable contributors are MacEwen himself and Gerry Riskin of Amazing Firms Amazing Practices.
I’m about midway through the magazine and it’s terrific. It approaches the subject of innovation from a variety of perspectives and, in doing so, demonstrates the power of collaborative thought and action.
As Riskin points out in a recent post, the collaboration on this important topic continues in a new blog, Blank Sheet of Paper And a box of crayons. The blog is the work of Merrilyn Astin Tarlton, the editor-in-chief of the ABA’s Law Practice magazine.
Collaboration is something that fortifies any effort to compel positive change in the legal profession. A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to experience this kind of collaborative power when Riskin and MacEwen volunteered their time and energy to help me test run my new training and development program on the XE Factor.
The input and diverse ideas they offered during our day together have proven invaluable and the program - as it’s since evolved – reflects the boons of our very constructive collaboration.
