“Everything that can be automated will be automated”: Harvard Business School and MIT professor Shoshana Zuboff's prophesy dates back to 1988. In 2017, Pearson, Nesta (the British Innovation Foundation), and the University of Oxford conducted research on most desirable skills in 2030: what skills will we need when robots take over manual tasks and AI can handle jobs that previously required a brain?

Creativity is among the top skills to remain employable by then: “the ability to come up with unusual or clever ideas about a given topic or situation, or to develop creative ways to solve a problem.”

Research aside, we can all see that the whole world is in a massive state of transformation as digitalisation, new technologies and new customer needs rapidly change the business landscape.

How does that translate into the legal sector?

The legal industry is no exception, simply because it supports businesses, which are undergoing massive transformation. Its response so far - to what some may consider as an “innovation injunction” - has been mostly focusing on innovation tools, rather than innovation mind-set.
