Welcome to the Water And Air podcast.In this episode, I'm delighted to welcome Jason Sprague to the podcast. Jason is Principal of Sprague & Co, an organisational transformation consultancy specialising in digital and commercial change. He has 20 years of experience designing and executing transformation in professional and legal services, infrastructure, FMCG and energy sectors.Each transformation that Jason has led has required combining people, processes, data, and technology to achieve a successful outcome. Jason began his foray into the legal sector when he founded a legal services Dot Com business in 1999 to undertake digitisation and process efficiencies in the legal practices of the Midwest of the United States.

Instead, the organisation’s culture is the main factor in achieving successful changes, and this is supported by process and technology to improve outcomes for staff and customers alike.We discuss various topics including what Digital Transformation is within the context of legal services; why change is inevitable and should be embraced, not feared; and the ways in which it can help firms save precious time instead of spending it on formatting issues.Enjoy, and come back for the next episode.
