This quarterly nothing burger coulda been an email ...

“This quarterly nothing burger coulda been an email.” If your QBR feels like a deck, a data dump, and a whole lot of acronyms being thrown around like alphabet soup (KPIs, CBRs, RACI… we see you 👀), we’ve got you. In this episode of the eDiscovery Chicks podcast 🎙️🐔, we’re breaking down the actual components of an effective QBR — what these acronyms mean, how to use KPIs to drive decisions, how RACI creates accountability, and how to give your QBR a real glow up ✨. We’ll also cover who should be at the table 👥 to make these meetings collaborative, strategic, and worth everyone’s time. Because once you know the recipe🍳, you can stop clucking around 🐔 and start serving up something egg-ceptional 🥚🔥

Legal Ops is So Fetch with special guest: Jessica Vander Ploeg, VP of Legal Ops at Belron

Legal ops is the difference between: A legal team running on strategy and a legal team running on vibes and late-night fire drills. With Jessica Vander Ploeg, we get brutally practical about: * Priority management when you’ve got 20–30 “top” priorities * Partnerships as currency across the business * Proving value (including the messy reality of quantifying “soft savings”) * How to diagnose a role before you accept it

Prompt Me Like One of Your Search Terms with Guest: Doug Austin

It’s live: our 2026 State of the Industry episode with Doug Austin. If GenAI is “transformative,” why does adoption still look like a secret hobby? Because the problem isn’t the robot. It’s the fact that half our workflows exist as oral tradition. In this episode, we get specific about: * The adoption gap—and what it’s really exposing * Governance as the true gatekeeper (who owns the risk, who approves, who verifies) * Incentives: why some sectors sprint and others clutch their pearls * Defensibility: validation methods that hold up when someone asks, “prove it” And yes: we talk about prompts—work product, strategy, and the upcoming disputes that will feel very familiar to anyone who has lived through search term negotiations.
