Want to get some legal dynamics going? Read our book!

Karla Schlaepfer M.A. is co-author of the Schäffer-Poeschel non-fiction reference book on Cultural Shifts, Transformation and how to integrate digitalization processes into human-centered working.

Karla Schlaepfer and Martin Welz create a compelling case for New Work models in our continually changing digital world. In their book, they outline the steps required to change the way we work in the 21st century. Their model of New Work focuses on why a shift to human-centered values in the workplace is key to enabling innovation. They outline how to carry out this innovation shift with mental models, agile best practices and the creation of high preforming teams. The authors have conducted interviews in Silicon Valley, at IDEO, Stanford, and with top business people in Germany and Switzerland. The results are presented in a highly visual, informative format with practical tips on skill development and go-to advice in an extensive reference section.

Susan Hackett, CEO, Legal Executive Leadership, LLC, Bethesda, MD 20816, USA
I just wanted to complement you (and your co-author Baltasar Cevc) on your excellent article on "Remote Legal Teams, which I just read on Legal Business World’s website. I am a longtime advocate of the concepts you put forth, but rarely have I seen them addressed with such clarity and so practically.
Philipp von Bülow, Legal Tech Entrepreneur, Participant Design Thinking for Legals Workshop Legal ®Evolution Expo & Congress
“I really appreciated the Design Thinking workshop and learned a lot. It was great to experience the complete workflow of Design Thinking and even have a really solid prototype at the end. I would definitely recommend this Design Thinking workshop to others.”
Baltasar Cevc, Lawyer, IT Expert
“It is a pleasure to work with Karla and experience our exchange from very different yet understandable perspectives. I look forward to working with you and learning from your experience in Design Thinking – it’s always good to work with people with broad experience and a positive mindset!”
Dr. Michael Faatz, LL.M., Legal Counsel
“Thank you, Karla. I liked your workshops because you made them very lively by alternating between lecture and active exercises with the participants. I particularly liked your approach of using your working methods to try to get the quiet people in a group more involved and not just the ’extroverts”. That’s very important in teamwork and all too often comes up to short in everyday office life.”
Amada Maria Arley Orduna, Dr. ODR and AI, Consumer Protection in North America and Latin America
“Simply wonderful! I learned a great technique! I can apply this Google Design Sprint tool to work with interdisciplinary teams to develop platforms in the legal field and design online platforms for dispute resolution using artificial intelligence. From Mexico to Germany, I have been looking for this tool. Many thanks to Karla Schlaepfer for your great generosity.”
