The Corporate Legal Operations Consortium has rolled out its AI Intensive program to facilitate the full enterprise deployment of artificial intelligence.
The program, which was developed and is spearheaded by legal operations practitioners, is being delivered through a series of workshops for about 40 people. Using AI tools on their laptops, participants will join real-time prompting exercises, workflow and agent design, and implementation planning activities.
Attendees can participate according to the level most appropriate for their needs. Beginners are advised to join full-day sessions running from 8:30am to 6:00pm so they can progress throughout the day. Seasoned AI users may concentrate on specific sessions covering topics like workflows, agents, governance, and scaling.
The program aims to eschew typical conference setups for applied education. The first in-person event will be held on October 27 at global firm Eversheds Sutherland’s New York office.
“By grounding this program in peer-to-peer collaboration and applied execution, we are helping leaders improve legal service delivery at every stage of maturity,” said Alex Gao, CLOC board member and Hilton Worldwide’s senior director of legal operations, in a statement.
Legora’s senior director of legal innovation and CLOC board member Mark Allen added that the AI Intensive program is intended to help legal operations professionals develop a structure through which they can fulfill leadership’s AI delivery requirements. Moreover, the program is designed to support legal departments in building long-term governance and strategy.
“Leadership is asking legal ops to deliver AI at a pace and scale that outstrips what most teams have the framework to execute. This program gives them that structure, so ambition and execution move at the same speed,” Allen said.
The AI Intensive program complements CLOC Academy’s Core 12 competency pathways and certification curriculum. The New York chapter kicks off a multi-channel program that will involve both in-person events in various cities and online sessions. In addition, CLOC will incorporate dedicated AI Intensive programming into the annual Global Institute.
A CLOC AI Intensive-specific online learning hub will be launched with downloadable governance templates and benchmarking reports.
“AI adoption in legal operations comes down to speed and quality of execution. The organizations that win will be the ones that move past pilot programs and build real operational capability. That’s exactly what CLOC’s AI Intensive is designed to do: give legal ops leaders the skills, and the confidence to deploy AI across their organizations, starting now,” said Oyango Snell, CLOC’s president and CEO, in a statement.
