In their latest blog post, ProSearch discusses the benefits of building a strong data culture with a recap of their Legalweek session on the topic!

Their post from Dianne Miley titled The Power of Data: Benefits of Building a Strong Data Culture (available here) discusses how an organization’s culture is largely defined by the collective behavior and beliefs of its people – the ways people interact with each other and approach tasks, and their shared points of view. A data culture is one that is driven by a shared belief in the power and importance of data. As a result, using data to make decisions, improve processes, and gain a competitive advantage – and managing data in a way that makes that possible – is encouraged and expected.

The stronger an organization’s data culture, the better its position when it comes to leveraging data. Organizations with strong data cultures classify and organize data as it’s created and in a way that facilitates efficiency, repeatability, consistency, and accuracy. They stay up to speed on developments and trends in data science and technology.

ProSearcher Matt Davidson moderated a panel discussion at Legalweek 2024 to explore the best practices organizations can use to build robust data cultures where the panelists shared several tips for creating a data culture and getting colleagues on board.

The CLE-eligible session Creating a Strong Data Culture to Make Your Practice More Efficient offered enlightening discussion with several leaders in discovery and knowledge management in their organizations:

• Sadie Khodorkovsky, Managing Director, Global Head of Legal Discovery Management (LDM), JPMorgan Chase & Co.
• Jessie Torres, Chief Strategic Counsel, McDermott Will & Emery LLP
• Sara Miro, Managing Attorney – Director of Knowledge Solutions, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP

Having attended that session, I can attest that it was a terrific session with a knowledgeable panel with great tips for building a strong data culture!
