As society becomes increasingly connected so professional service firms have to adapt to and take advantage of the business benefits of online communication, connectivity and collaboration.
This change is accelerating, its scope is broadening and its impact is global. Clients are more demanding, regulatory pressures are escalating, competition is fierce and recruitment is increasingly difficult.
Our society is hooked on all-pervasive, always-on connectivity. The boundaries between work, social and leisure time are becoming nonexistent. The Internet, camera phones, VOIP, instant messaging, social networking and PDAs are used by an increasing number of us in our daily lives for work, social and leisure activities.
For most of us, not having online access would severely impact our productivity. For a growing percentage, full time, instant, multi-device connectivity is mission critical. For law firms connectedness provides a huge competitive advantage particularly if governed by an ITC Acceptable Use Policy which is integrated into its business vision and strategy.
At the same time workplace demographics are changing as less Internet savvy baby boomers retire and a new generation of knowledge workers, who have never known a world without the internet, Google, Facebook, YouTube, text messaging and camera phones join and progress through the workforce.
In order to compete for this valuable talent base law firms have to offer an always on, connected, collaborative environment which supports the way in which the “everyone, everything, everywhere connected” generation live and work.
More than half of all knowledge workers use social networking sites and online communities for business communications. Whilst no one doubts that connectivity, communication and collaboration tools dramatically increase knowledge worker productivity there is the realisation that these same tools increase business risks for the employer.
It’s this “credit score” and the trends contained within the score which could impact on a firms insurance costs and possibly even its ability to recruit talent. There is therefore a direct link between a clearly written Acceptable Use Policy, compliance and profit.

These risks fall into two main categories: (1) The risk of reputational damage as a result of, for example, the loss of client data or IP contravention.

Like it or not alongside its undoubted benefits the Internet delivers access to a range of undesirable diversions from productive educational output. At the top of the list must be the instant access delivered to Sex sites and Pornography. Pure curiosity can draw even the most honest and up right to explore and even the most innocent of word combinations can lead to Internet sites that offer Pornography far far worse than anything available in Soho or a Licensed Sex Shop. Once such images are downloaded onto your PC network the problem faced becomes acute - as do the legal responsibilities you carry , both as guardian to your students and as an employer.
