Change MANAGEMENT: Keeping Your Legal Department Fit

A full‑day programme packed with fresh ideas and insights from fellow GCs and CLOs. We’ll explore how to redesign Legal from the ground up in response to tech’s accelerating impact and the broader transformations unfolding around us: how innovative GCs are redefining their role, reshaping their teams, and building future‑ready legal services using strategy, common sense, technology, talent and trusted advisors.

Programme highlights

• Opening keynote: Setting the Scene by Jacco van Uden, Professor of Change Management at The Hague University of Applied Sciences
• GCN Talkshow Panel (in English): a lively discussion with 3 CLOs/GCs sharing practical experiences, moderated by our host Mahutin Awunou
• GCN Speeddates
• A refreshing outdoor walk
• Two GCN Roundtable sessions with a choice of 13 topics
• Closing inspiration by Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Maarten van der Weijden
