  • Lbcambridge2 Helping Bring the Pieces Together
    LBCambridge2 Helping bring the pieces together 6-8 February & 19-21 March 2020 Origins Back in 2006 we launched the LBCambridge programme at Queens’ College Cambridge. The rationale was to create a unique training event that would help in-house lawyers focus on their soft skills development and gain the insights and awareness to be more effective in their roles, for their teams and for their employers. LBCambridge, which runs twice a year in April and September, has become something of an institution; it is widely regarded to be a world class skills development programme for in-house lawyers and since 2006 has attracted well over 1000 lawyers from around 30 different countries. Building on this success and to meet the requests of past delegates LBCambridge2 was launched in 2012. It is our leadership development programme designed specifically for aspirational in-house lawyers in, or ambitious for, leadership roles. We have researched the leadership needs for in-house lawyers and their employers, we have looked at programmes around the world and we have met literally hundreds of potential speakers and mentors who might join the faculty. The result is a programme that we consider to be the most appropriate blend of personal development and strategic insight in what is a thoughtful, challenging and creative experience just as ground-breaking as the original programme it is built upon. Image of Queens’ College Cambridge, venue for the original LBCambridge programme from an original painting by Ian Weatherhead commissioned by LBC Wise Counsel 3 The programme Objectives Overview The overarching objective is to help in-house lawyers be more resilient, effective and creative in The programme runs across two residential sessions.
