ACC Australia
Virtual Event
Overview (Program Summary)
Stephen Scheeler’s recent webinar laid out an extensive level of working norms that could be expected as a result of the global pandemic. However, his session opened a whole other level of questions about what lay ahead in 2021 and how this will impact in-house counsel. In this second webinar, Stephen returns to deep dive with the ACC Australia audience on topics including:
- How do you envisage the role of lawyers changing?
- How will in-house lawyers preserve the relationship with clients as strategic advisors with the need to engage with clients remotely via technology?
- Regarding OH&S responsibility for staff working from home, how far does the 'safe system of work' obligation extend?
- How do you see the energy industry be impacted?
- What advice would you give to digital entrepreneurs?
- What do you see happening with the new normal for travel? Will we stop getting on planes and have VR holidays?
- For the Personalised Data Economy, does this mean much of our marketing will fall mute, and that we need to start focusing on getting the trust of consumers so they let us into their silos?
- Will there be enough jobs in the future with automation and robotics ?
- Regarding the pandemic-proof certification, would this be something employees will look for - attracting and retaining the best talent?
- What will all this mean for not-pandemic proof industries?
- Will the private sector need to take more responsibility to drive the social changes required to adapt to the post COVID world?
Following Stephen's presentation ACC Australia will be hosting a virtual networking session from 5.00 PM using our new virtual event platform! Grab a drink and we’ll break you into smaller groups so that you can catch up with peers, discuss the insights gained, share what you’ve been experiencing in your own workplace and how you’re planning for the “new normal”.
