In this video I discuss the distinction between two teams: one focused on operational requests and another on high-value tasks that impact the business’ strategic direction. The first team may feel productive because they’re busy with high-frequency, manual tasks. This can lead to job dissatisfaction, missed deadlines, and a disconnect with the organization. However, the second team is able to do higher-value work, make data-informed decisions, and contribute more value to the business as it optimizes productivity by minimizing legal waste, building legal capital, having oversight of all work, and collecting data.
