At the start of 2024 Jenn McCarron became President of the Board of the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC), succeeding Mike Haven. We invited Jenn back on to the show to discuss:

* the process of becoming President

* the factors she considered in weighing up the role

* CLOC's role in the legal ops community, and how it has developed over time

* what changes we can expect in the future under Jenn's leadership

* the extent to which Jenn's background in entertainment will be relevant to her role

We also continued our tradition of beginning the year with predictions, and we invited Jenn to join us in making some of her own and assessing ours. These are some of the topics we discussed:

* legal ops as a partner to the business, not just the legal team

* continued growth in the importance of data and analytics

* focus on enterprise technology rather than legal point solutions

* future use cases for artificial intelligence

* the importance of managing AI risks
