Points à retenir
Start innovation with a “minimum lovable product”: Build something small but usable, test whether it truly resonates, then tweak and scale or pivot based on feedback before investing heavily.
Prioritization is a legal superpower: With limited time and resources, in-house teams must continuously decide what to pursue, pause, or stop. Clear frameworks and psychological safety enable better trade-offs, earlier pivots, and stronger decisions.
Decisiveness depends on clear risk boundaries: Lawyers make better, faster decisions when it’s clear where flexibility exists and where it doesn’t. Shared boundaries help teams act with confidence, even when decisions must be made with incomplete information.
Some risks are non-negotiable: Legal and ethical obligations come first. Within those guardrails, in-house counsel can still think entrepreneurially by documenting decisions, building defensible positions, and finding compliant paths forward.
Innovation scales through structure and shared ownership: Sustainable innovation comes from consistent, incremental progress. When teams align on priorities, use the right tools, and share responsibility, innovation becomes a habit rather than a one-off effort.
