As I wait for final papers to come in, I thought it would be a good time to share some of the video content we created at the Michigan State University Center for Law, Technology & Innovation this past semester. The Center’s video content is all available on the Video resources page of the CLT&I
This post is part of a series of sample chapters from my my book, Successful Innovation Outcomes in Law: A Practical Guide for Law Firms, Law Departments and Other Legal Organizations.
Three Innovation Efforts Corporate Counsel Want
This chapter contains some of my best insights from work on the customer side as an in-house
Supply chains have certainly gotten our attention in the last few years. You might be surprised to learn that there is a growing area of practice in supply chain law to address the many complex issues that arise out today’s lengthy and surprisingly-fragile supply chains.
I’m pleased to be the moderator for a panel discussion
In the new episode of The Kennedy-Mighell Report podcast called “Life During Cyberwartime,” Tom and I combined our sense of unease over world events and some worrisome warnings from CISA.gov and decided to discuss recent major cyberattacks and what we should do to prepare ourselves for the possibility of cyberwar.

The annual list of Women in Legal Technology from the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center is a big deal. There are now well over a hundred women on the cumulative list. It’s a fantastic resource to find women speakers on legal technology, for consulting, and more.
We are rapidly approaching the February 15 deadline
Excerpt from Successful Innovation Outcomes in Law: A Practical Guide for Law Firms, Law Departments and Other Legal Organizations, by Dennis Kennedy.
A greatly-underused resource for innovation programs is the advisory board. Advisory boards are a group of experts who provide advice, industry and customer knowledge, market awareness, subject matter expertise, and the like. They
I’ve started a new feature in the Kennedy Idea Propulsion Laboratory Community Premium Group. I’m calling it, simply, enough, Tuesday Tips. Every Tuesday, I post 4 – 6 (and sometimes a few bonus tips) of cool stuff I’ve found that will be of interest to the legal innovation community (and others, frankly).

Tom Mighell and I wrote a 3-part article on personal productivy tips based on a podcast episode we did last fall. It’s been published on the American Bar Association’s “Law Technology Today.”
The end of the year can seem like the “Time of the Overwhelm.”
It’s called “12 Personal Productivity Tips for Your
Tom Mighell and I, with help from Debbie Foster, continued our annual tradition of looking backward and forward at #legaltech at the end/beginning of each year on our podcast. Of course, we do that in our own way.
Here are the two episodes of The Kennedy-Mighell Report podcast:
For many years, I’ve enjoyed reading the posts of several bloggers who are trying to read 52 books in 52 weeks. I’ve also wanted to find a good way for me to keep track of the books I’ve read. And it gives me a good reading target to shoot for.
Last year, I read 68

We have moved from a world where the big fish eat the little fish, says Tom Peters, the famous management consulting guru, to a world where the “fast fish eat the slow fish.”
I’ve noticed lately that many of the most innovative developments in legal technology have come from smaller firms
I have watched and listened to so many pledge drives on PBS and NPR over the years. I occasionally get a question about how to support this blog. I’ve ruled out pledge drives, thankfully for you and for me.
Recently, I noticed that Sabrina Pacifici of the fabulously-useful and highly-recommended blog, BeSpacific, had a
Tom Mighell and I launched our podcast in 2006. We joined the Legal Talk Network and have just published episode #300. We could probably claim many things about the podcast, but we’re OK with calling it “the longest continuously-running podcast on legal technology.”
Because surprisingly few podcasts even make it to 15 episodes, let
Tom Mighell and I got the idea to do something we call the “Second Brain project” back in 2020. We first discussed it in a podcast we called “Eureka! – The Beginnings of Dennis and Tom’s Second Brain Project.” We’ve now done a total of eight episodes on our thinking and our progress.
On Thursday, November 18, 2021, at 8:00 Eastern, I’ll be holding the second of my monthly “Ask Me Anything” webcasts. The theme for this one will be “personal productivity.”
In the session, I’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have on the topic, from my decades-long use of the “Getting Things
