Legal Change - There?s Always Another Wave

By John Wallbillich

As I was watching the footage below of recent extreme surf off the coast of Maui, I thought about change. Just when you think you’ve met the latest challenge, another one comes along. Sometimes you react well, sometimes not. Once in a great while you actually take some proactive steps. After all, it’s risky, and the risk appears larger the bigger the organization you’re working in.

But enough of that for now, let’s hang ten. Perhaps brew some organic green tea first, and turn up your speakers.

The video is less than 3 minutes long; the surfer at the 2 minute mark looks like he rode the winner, until someone else rides the next bigger wave (which were between 25 and 50 feet high):

The last 18 months have seen a lot of change in the legal industry. Much of it was needed, but a lot of it incremental stuff. Sort of the drip drip drip of water on a rock that eventually leaves its mark. After a few thousand years (or hours…).

Change is also coming here to the Wired GC; not so much a big wave as a smaller current. Details on Monday.
