Leading with focus: business professional culture in an ever-changing environment

Wednesday 7 October (0930 - 1045)

Committee(s)

Law Firm Management Committee (Lead)
CEO Subcommittee

Description

In a time of rapid change, driven by technology, client expectations, and evolving talent, law firms must continually rethink their culture and focus. This session will explore how business professionals can lead with clarity and purpose, balancing innovation, efficiency, and human connection.    

Designed as an interactive discussion, senior leaders will share experiences of leading through shifting priorities and redefining “focus” for their firms. We also propose building on our 2025 global survey, repeating it with a renewed focus on how cultural factors influence collaboration, leadership, and performance in business services. This will provide valuable continuity while deepening insights into the role of culture in driving resilience and results.
