TED Tuesday: (re) IMAGINING THE FUTURE

Image: TED2014

“I’m so astonished by the last 30 years that it’s hard to imagine what might blow our minds in the next 30. That’s how pervasive technology has become for many of us." ~~Karen Wickre, editorial director, Twitter

Good Morning Folks,

As you know I am in the thick of it at ALA where we are about to make news. So I'll make this brief and ask you to stay tuned to our live Twitter and Linked In updates where I promise to keep you posted. Meanwhile….

In keeping with the ALA theme "An Education & Networking Mosaic" designed to move the business of law forward, and FSO's own mission to (re)IMAGINE  a future that is very different from today— I call your attention to TED2014 theme “The Next Chapter."

TED asked some of the world's leading thinkers to opine on what might radically change society, life, technology and so on in the next 30 years. From funny and wry to deeply insightful, the answers will surprise you.

One idea I hope comes to fruition is from Doreen Lorenzo, president, Quirky. She predicts: “What will blow my mind in the next 30 years is the ability to diagnose a disease before you know that something is wrong with you, treat it with medicines designed specifically for you and eradicate it so it never happens again. The concept of connected health, wearable technology and ingested medicines are all pointing us in that direction. The ability for someone to tie it all together, tailored for the individual is mind-blowing.”

How will our lives be different in the not-so-distant future? See all of the insightful presentations (26 Ideas From The Future) HERE.

If you are at ALA Toronto you can learn more about how FSO (re)IMAGINES the ways Legal Services are run, by visiting booths 631 & 633 on the Expo Floor.

I hope you are feeling great and having a personal, passionate, productive week. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Love Life!

"We can't wait for conventioneers to experience firsthand what we've been telling you all along: What makes FSO the industry's fastest growing company and our competitive market advantage is hospitality delivered with a personal, passionate and productive tradition of service extraordinaire that's has never been duplicated."

Good Morning Folks,

As we prepare to pack our bags and board a our flights to Toronto, I wanted to send you my best wishes for an amazing ALA Annual Conference experience. The annual event brings to together leaders in the legal industry to discuss the challenges and opportunities in today’s legal environment.  

Our team has worked with a the ALA and it local organizations for the past few years to better understand the challenges of this unique industry in order to help better tailor our services to their specific needs. We are very proud of our association with the ALA. 

We leave today to embark on a mission. To win the hearts and minds of the legal community. 

Remember we are three and a half years young besides my 20 plus years of experience. And what FSO has accomplished in this short period of time has rocked this industry and me. Lol

We have come out of no where. And while others have been doing year after year for so many years, they have not been able to accomplish what we have REIMAGINED in recent years. 

We wanted to let you know that while you are on-site at the ALA next week, FSO will be making news launching some exciting new services. We will also provide live, ongoing Twitter updates on @FSOOutsourcing, @MWeinerFSO and of course as always on my Linked In page.

We will be using hashtags #ALA2014 and #FSOALA2014, so stay tuned to those.

FSO Onsite Outsourcing Legal Services To Present at ALA Toronto, May 19th - 22nd

"At FSO, we are driving change and ushering law firms into the digital 21st Century and beyond. It's the kind of change that's top of mind for this year's ALA attendees.

Good Morning Folks,

We are proud to announce our participation in the Association of Legal Administrator's (ALA) annual Conference and Expo, May 19th - 22nd at Toronto's Metro Toronto Convention Center. The annual event brings together leaders in the legal industry to discuss the challenges and opportunities in today's legal environment. 

These few days of knowledge and collaboration are just one of the many ways we are spreading the FSO way, driving visibility for our great brand and making powerful connections.

The legal profession, always slow to adapt to change, finds itself in a new environment of increased competition, client-initiated pressure on expenses, rapid migration from paper to digital records and the relocation of back-office tasks out of city centers where space and labor savings go direct to the bottom line.

I launched FSO with a vision, a dream of changing the outsourcing business in a way that was never done before. At FSO, we are driving change and ushering law firms into the digital 21st Century and beyond. It's the kind of change that's top of mind for this year's ALA attendees.

A highlight of the conference for me, as Chief Happiness Officer, will be the keynote by Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly. Talk bout possibility thinking and overcoming adversity.

Their address will be called "Endeavour to Succeed" taking place Tuesday 20th at 8AM Sharp.

On January 8, 2011, Mark Kelly faced the toughest challenge of his life when a would-be assassin shot his wife, who was then serving as a U.S. Congresswoman. His dedication to family and Gabby Giffords' arduous road to recovery captivated the world.

The Gifford's embody all of the goodness which lies within us. Theirs is also a story of teamwork at its best. At FSO, we are getting bigger, better and stronger as a TEAM.

You can see a preview of what the Giffords might be speaking about on their TED talk, that was featured on our Ted Tuesday series right here.

To learn more about how FSO (re)imagines the ways Legal Services are run, visit booths 631 & 633 on the Expo Floor.

Until then hope you are feeling great and having a personal, passionate, productive week.

Love Life!
