Kelly Twigger of ESI Attorneys, eDiscovery Assistant, #CaseOfTheWeek on the ACEDS YouTube Channel, and eDiscovery Bytes Blog (whew I think we can safely safe she is THE quintessential legal eDiscovery entrepreneur) joins us on ESI Survival Guide for a conversation about her professional past, present and future, along with what drives her trailblazing spirit.
As we cut a path through the electronic wilderness, we stop along the way to discuss technology competence for lawyers in the Digital Age, the biggest issue facing legal practitioners today, the importance of knowing what you don’t know, the entrepreneurial spirit, practical tactics for dealing with the perils of self-collection in the context of FRCP 26(g), the awesomeness of eDiscovery Assistant, how a severed hand can throw unique wrinkles into the Internet of Things, eDiscovery in law schools, career advice for new lawyers, Kentucky vs. UNC basketball and Kelly’s eDiscovery survival kit.
Below are the highlights of the various topics that we explore, along with some Survival Tips peppered throughout. And I should note, if you are someone who gets a little flustered by long, awesome video conversations, have no fear, YouTube video timestamps are here. Check them out on the YouTube Channel – and support us by hitting the Like button or, even better, subscribing!
Following our lead-in and our disclaimer, I introduce Kelly Twigger – there is no greater trailblazer or standard bearer for the eDiscovery industry than Kelly. She is a true hybrid of innovative academic and gritty practitioner, and is one of the most active professionals in the space. She was also awesome enough to sit down with The Guide.
Kelly is an O.G. in the eDiscovery space, and has been cutting a singular trail through the industry that spans over 20 years. Just a name a few scenic points on her path:
- – She built the first eDiscovery and Records Retention Practice at Quarles & Brady, while also being a litigation partner.
- – She is a prolific writer on the eDiscovery Bytes blog, which she founded.
- – She co-authored THE BOOK on electronic discovery and records and information management – The Rules, Checklists and Forms Guide. The 2020-2021 edition is now available at the WestLaw Store online.
- – She is the entrepreneurial force behind two of the eDiscovery discipline’s leading resources:
- 1. ESI Attorneys, and
- 2. eDiscovery Assistant
- Kelly also hosts an awesome streaming case law discussion series called #CaseOfTheWeek on the ACEDS YouTube channel, AND she does countless other amazing things in legal academia, the eDiscovery trenches, and more.
- With that we jumped into our discussion.
- Competence is the hallmark of the legal profession. Right now, there are so many challenges that attorneys are facing (e.g., the proliferation of new data types, working remotely, advancements in artificial intelligence, a deluge of new regulations related to data, etc.), so a two-part question:
- What does competence mean to you in the Digital Age of law?
- What is the single biggest issue facing attorneys today?
There is no one definition of competence that covers all attorneys. Your level of competence depends on who you are, your practice area(s), your case load and the types of cases you handle. With regards to eDiscovery competence, which is a specific subset of competence, this recent Ethics Opinion lays out what eDiscovery competence means and highlights three pathways attorneys can take on this journey:
- Get competent yourself! Check out this Ethics Opinion for the nine categories of eDiscovery competence.
- Hire someone to help you! Kelly’s firm ESI Attorneys often gets brought in by other firms to help with all things ESI and eDiscovery.
- Decline the representation!
When it comes to Electronically Stored Information, it is important to know specific things relevant to your specific practice. A class action attorney’s level of competence with ESI will need to be different from a family lawyer, a family lawyer’s competence will be different from a criminal prosecutor, a criminal prosecutor’s competence will need to be different from a complex commercial litigator, whose competence will be different from a transactional lawyer, whose competence will be different from a German Rechtsanwalt, and so on and so forth.
SURVIVAL TIP! Competence is fluid. Competence is related to your particular practice. KNOW THE TECH ASPECTS OF YOUR PRACTICE.
[Side Note: Stay tuned for a three-part series on ESI Survival Guide regarding how to gain and maintain competence!]
Consider counsel who fails to take the path of declining the representation. Is it an ethical issue when a substantively competent counsel begins a matter, may not have the necessary level of technology competence, wades deeper and deeper into eDiscovery before knowing the full scope of the matter, and then fails to decline?
Yes and no. An experienced eDiscovery Counsel can quickly define the scope of the eDiscovery issues as they relate to ESI with a few core pieces of information (e.g., the kind of case at issue, the claims, what kind of companies are parties to the matter, the age of the custodians, etc.).
Survival Tip! If you are dealing with a lot of third parties in a matter, engage them in the eDiscovery process as early as possible. The odds are that they are not going to get you the data you need within 30 days, and it could take significant follow-up efforts to get that information.
A lack of specific technology and eDiscovery competence at the outset of a litigation will put you at a disadvantage. Kelly lays out the approach her firm takes at the start of a new litigation project to understand the initial steps that need to be taken, which includes defining such project parameters as:
- What are the goals of the litigation?
- What are the likely costs related to discovery?
- What kinds of data sources are within scope?
Survival Tip! While a lack of eDiscovery competence can hurt you from the start of a matter, if you find yourself in over your head, you can always get help.
Survival Tip! eDiscovery and technology competence are just as much about knowing what you don’t know as they are about knowing what you know. It is important to know when you need help.
Kelly and I then revisit a question from before: What is the single biggest issue facing attorneys today?
Kelly explains that, from an ESI perspective, rapid changes in technology are the primary challenge facing legal practitioners today. Such changes are very diverse, whether they be updates to enterprise cloud subscription services like O365, social media applications or some other piece of tech. Keeping up to speed with developments in technology can be difficult for even a seasoned data lawyer. Case in point, consider how social media platforms changed their APIs in response to the 2016 election to combat the distribution of misinformation. These changes impacted lawyers’ abilities to collect information for cases, and the tools used to collect data from social media had to make rapid adjustments. In some cases, the outputs are still impacted by these post-election updates. It is important to remember two points when addressing the technological landscape of a matter:
- What are the core technology elements you need to know for you case?
- Who do you have available that you can call to get these answers when you need them?
Do you think you would have considered the rapid developments in technology as being the biggest challenge facing legal practitioners when you first began to practice?
No. The advancements in technology that have occurred over the past decade have been increasing exponentially.
Kelly and I then reminisce about the days of yore when the height of redaction technology included yellow sticky notes, and email threading was less of a review platform feature than it was a group of lawyers shuffling message print outs by hand.
You are extremely prolific in the eDiscovery space and play many roles – trailblazing attorney, forward-leaning entrepreneur, industry academic, etc. – (I want to note again that Kelly is the creator of the original eDiscovery Bytes blog, one of the first ever eDiscovery-focused firms ESI Attorneys, and the most comprehensive eDiscovery case law and resource site on the web – eDiscovery Assistant). Kelly, what is the impetus behind your entrepreneurial path? What is it that drives you?
Kelly talks about she has always been a problem solver and loves litigation strategy. eDiscovery allows her to marry litigation strategy with the technical aspects of law.
She goes on to talk about how she always envisioned starting a firm. She was fortunate to have had the experiences that Quarles & Brady offered her, along with being able to work with the professionals that made up her team at the firm. Kelly mentions some key experiences, all of which are extremely “unicorn-like,” which positioned her to really understand the importance of discovery strategy. One of these being that she took her first deposition the day after she was sworn into the bar. Another was facing a non-ESI spoliation issue early in her career. Her experience evolved over time in conjunction with the emergence of ESI issues, and an event in 2004 served as the impetus behind Kelly starting Quarles & Brady’s eDiscovery practice. The client work flowed from there.
ESI Attorneys was born from this experience and was built on a business model distinct from that of traditional outside counsel. Kelly’s firm partners with clients in a way where they are effectively outsourced in-house counsel with the goal of being part of the operations of both the legal department and of the business. This approach allows ESI Attorneys to better spot data-related issues that impact the enterprise.
eDiscovery Assistant came along because Kelly needed a tool to allow her to know the case law and rules for a particular jurisdiction on demand. Thankfully for all of us in the legal space, this is a resource that she continues to grow and grow!
Embracing change is a vital skill that we need to learn to develop in the legal profession. Also, in this era of great change, due to COVID and various other factors, law students and new lawyers entering the market really need to evaluate the full landscape of available opportunities. You moved from a coveted partnership to starting an eDiscovery-based firm, and did so in 2009, when eDiscovery was still a very niche practice. Many would say that this was a very unconventional choice. Can you talk about the difficulty (or ease) of this choice and the factors that went into your decision?
Kelly had her crystal ball out in full effect during this time. She had loads of confidence that competence in the area of eDiscovery was going to be a growing need that had to be filled. ESI Attorneys’ clients understand the benefit of partnering with the firm on eDiscovery and technology issues so that the trial lawyers can focus on their areas of expertise.
Many might consider Kelly a risk taker, including even herself in some respects, but when it came to starting her own firm, it was anything but risky (and definitely not comparable to Wile E. Coyote!). She had a unique skill set, and her expertise filled a growing demand. She met that demand head on.
Maybe at some point Kelly will use that same crystal ball to help me pick the winning Powerball numbers!
Now we pivot to one of the best resources available to legal practitioners and researchers tackling eDiscovery issues: eDiscovery Assistant. eDiscovery Assistant is something I wish I had access to from the dawn of my career, even when there was only a handful of eDiscovery opinions let alone dozens of new opinions each week. Can you tell me about eDiscovery Assistant and how users can get the most benefit from this resource?
eDiscovery Assistant is a tool that curates from all of the domestic U.S. decisions, including federal courts, federal district courts and state courts.
There are five core areas of content on eDiscovery Assistant:
- Case law
- Discovery rules
- A glossary of terms
What really makes this tool unique is that is contains a tagging structure for various issues. Currently, there are approximately 80 eDiscovery issues within the database. The eDiscovery Assistant content team reviews all the cases that come through to decide what opinions go into the database. Following that assessment, those opinions are tagged with the various applicable issues. This tagging structure, as well as other features, allows users to get to the cases they need in just a few clicks. eDiscovery Assistant is also developing a learning center that will enhance the user experience with videos aimed at various eDiscovery topics.
Another cool feature of the platform is the dynamic dashboard. This dashboard feature presents users with various pieces of information that are constantly updated, including the:
- number of cases added in the past 7 days,
- total number of cases in the database, and
- the top three issues from the past 7 days.
In addition, you can run searches by issue tag across the entire database, search through the recently added opinions, explore the interactive case map that shows federal and state opinions across jurisdictions, and when you do run a search, you can refine your results using numerous filters including issue tags, date filters, keyword searches, district court searches within the circuit courts, and you can even hone in on a specific judge whose opinions you are researching.
Survival Tip! Anyone can sign up for a free 30-day trial, and there are free accounts offered to law students. Approximately 20 – 25 law schools are using eDiscovery Assistant for their eDiscovery/Discovery classes. Go visit eDiscovery Assistant at www.eDiscoveryAssistant.com to get started.
You recently launched #CaseOfTheWeek on YouTube – a joint effort between eDiscovery Assistant and ACEDS – offering practical discussions focused on unpacking select opinions for those in the eDiscovery trenches. In your inaugural video, you mention Magistrate Judge William Matthewman and his EEOC v. M1 5100 Corporation decision regarding the “perils of self-collection.” In this case, during the meet and confer process, defense counsel stated they didn’t know how their client went about collecting documents. This is clearly a 26(g) violation, but doesn’t this behavior border on an ethical violation regarding an attorney’s duty of competence as well?
Yes and No. What Judge Matthewman is saying in this opinion is that you cannot just tell your client to go and collect the data unilaterally. And this is so for a couple of reasons:
- Clients do have their own self-interests, and
- Clients do not necessarily understand the scope of what is relevant in the context of litigation.
It is your job as a lawyer, or the legal professional being supervised by a lawyer, to make sure you’re addressing those points.
That could be a failure of competence, but if the bench looked at every single possible granular competence issue, the process would likely come to a grinding halt!
We need more education in this regard and more professionals dealing with these issues. There is such a diversity of issues related to eDiscovery that it needs to be recognized as its own substantive area of law. If our governing organization don’t make this recognition it will be a problem going forward.
You work with a lot of law schools. Are you seeing that law schools are focusing more on eDiscovery as its own substantive area of law? With the schools you work with, is eDiscovery a separate area of study as opposed to being bundled in with a civil procedure class?
Yes. Kelly notes that each one of the schools that leverages eDiscovery Assistant does so as part of a separate eDiscovery or discovery skills class. It’s all about what makes sense for the syllabus at a particular school, and then the resource is adapted to that program.
Kelly goes on to discuss a few marquee eDiscovery programs at law schools around the country including, Bill Hamilton’s program at the University of Florida Levin College of Law https://www.law.ufl.edu/faculty/william-hamilton and Craig Ball’s program at the University of Texas at Austin – School of Law https://law.utexas.edu/faculty/craig-d-ball/.
However, one of the reasons why there are not more of these types of programs is that to do it effectively, you need to have a teacher that works in these areas day in and day out applying eDiscovery theories and concepts in the real world. It takes lots of time and energy to put such a class together and teach it properly. Law schools have full time faculty, and though there are adjunct positions for these types of programs, getting the right people that can dedicate the necessary time can be a challenge.
Survival Tip! There are so many great resources out there in the eDiscovery realm. A few fantastic sources of educational content, insight, practical knowhow and industry news that we discussed include the following:
- https://craigball.net/ – Craig Ball
- https://eDiscoverytoday.com – Doug Austin
- https://www.relativity.com/blog/ – The Relativity Blog

We turn back to the perils of self-collection. Personally, I recently had two clients, that while they supervised their client’s collection efforts, they were reluctant to challenge their client when they resisted efforts to perform the necessary tasks to ensure a complete and accurate collection. Do you have any stories about situations where a client has resisted collection efforts and insisted on their own self-identification and self-collection process? If yes, what did you do to overcome that situation?
Kelly stated how she has not had issues related to client self-collection at ESI Attorneys because of how they partner with their clients. If a potential client were to be resistant to their efforts, then they would not be afraid to suggest that they may want to work with another team. One of the reasons why clients come to ESI Attorneys is to specifically receive and follow expert guidance through the process.
The problem is that in-house counsel often has a legitimate concern regarding balance. Their concern is when outside counsel wants to come in and broadly over collect. ESI Attorneys addresses those concerns with clients by showing them why they are doing what they are doing. For example, if a collection is being run from O365 and they get inconsistent results from their initial searches, they may suggest pulling data from a custodian more broadly using, for example, a particular date range rather than just reply on keywords. Kelly explains how they need to be able to explain to in-house counsel why they are making particular decisions. Understanding the technology and being able to take iterative steps on the platforms can help get past collection concerns with a client.
Clients also must be willing to take on some level of risk during the collection process. The challenge that you run into as a lawyer is FRCP 26(g), which states that you are certifying that all the documents produced are all the documents that are responsive to particular requests. If you aren’t certain that the collection you performed includes the required documents, then you really cannot sign of on that production. This is another point that you need to discuss with your clients. You cannot put yourself on the line until you know what was done during the identification and collection phases.
There are other options to consider under these circumstances if you think that your client is under collecting. For example, what kind of searches can you run and/or what kind of sampling can you do from that collection to give you the assurances you need as outside counsel to be able to comply with Rule 26(g).
Survival Tip! You need to get creative when dealing with a client who might be under collecting, or otherwise putting you in a difficult position to eventually sign off on a production under FRCP 26(g). Do not be afraid to have the conversation with your client about their collection efforts and position yourself to best support your representation.
Pivoting to another current trend, but still focused on data collection, and this is something you have commented on extensively – The Internet of Things. IoT is a topic on which more and more experts in the eDiscovery bubble are focusing. The Sedona Conference has a brainstorming group addressing the issue and it is constantly discussed in the data law blogosphere. There are so many nuances to this issue (e.g., possession custody and control, proportionality considerations with regards to the sheer volume of data within scope, advances in technology making acquisitions easier, and more). What do you see are the current challenges with collecting from IoT sources? Where do you expect the courts might land on this issue? Is IoT data really that much more complicated that data sources we’ve had to address in the past?
The courts are going to have to wade into the individual issues that are brought to them. For example, the was a criminal case years ago that involved a murder charge and data that was potentially contained on Amazon’s Alexa cloud service. That issue never came to fruition. Amazon filed a motion to quash that subpoena for the information, but ultimately it was never heard.
Kelly notes that IoT data is problematic, but she states that when we think about it from a source standpoint (i.e., where the information goes to live) it can become a little more familiar. For example, Kelly uses an Apply Watch, but that data is also on the apps on her smartphone, and may also be contained in the iCloud, or on other Apple devices she has linked together.
Survival Tip! When it comes to IoT devices, it’s important to understand each individual device. Important questions to consider are:
- What data types are available on that device?
- How does that device store data?
- How is data managed on that device?
Kelly then goes into one of the more intense examples I’ve heard related to IoT. She had a client reach out (no pun intended, and you’ll see why I say that here in a second) about a boating accident where someone’s Apple Watch sunk down to the bottom of a lake. They were wondering if they could recover data from the sunken Apply Watch. The catch (again, no pun intended) was that the Apple Watch was possibly still being worn by the victim’s severed hand down on the lakebed. Unfortunately, this individual’s hand had been tragically cut off in the accident. Horrific yes; but important IoT questions presented themselves nevertheless. Did the victim have a cell phone? Is the cell phone at the bottom of the lake as well? Did the watch “sink” to the cloud? Yeah…apologies about that one, I couldn’t help myself. Depending on how fast the watch was sinking down into the lake, and if the data was synching up to the cloud, the data could still possibly be recovered from the cloud with the username and password for the target account. The bottom line – there are many considerations when collection from IoT devices.
[Note that “Severed Hand” is apparently not one of the 80ish issue tags on eDiscovery Assistant.]
It is important to work with professionals that understand how IoT data is stored on and maintained by various devices, how those services change over time and what new types of data are involved. Staying on top of these developments is something that ESI Attorneys does for their clients. For example, Slack is a platform in the news right now. It just got bought by Salesforce and there are still open issues about how that acquisition, and any related changes, could impact the ability to collect data from the messaging platform.
There are many developments with regards to how eDiscovery technologies handle new data sources and data types. But while we focus on the new, we must also remember that there are still struggles with handling even the common data types, like emails and text messages, that we have been dealing with for years, let alone IoT data.
There are countless best practices that relate to reporting on the eDiscovery process. Surprisingly, I still see a dearth of accurate, comprehensive, detailed reports being kept by parties. Often times my team and I are called into a matter after it has begun, and we are tasked to right the ship by reverse engineering previous efforts and establishing reporting protocols moving forward. In a piece that appeared on Above the Law and The Master’s Conference blog in January 2018, you talk about the use of a working discovery report. Do you still use such reports today? Has this practice of yours evolved in any way over the years?
Kelly and her team use a working discovery report for every single case. The article mentioned above lists all the sections in the report, and you can find it by following this link – https://themastersconference.com/news/need-keep-your-ediscovery-team-members-same-page-use-discovery-report.
The report starts with an initial analysis of a particular case and goes all the way through custodian interviews, identification of sources, date ranges and all of the discovery process decisions made, as well as the basis for each of those decisions so that they can be revisited.
As Kelly states, “Those discovery reports are gold!”
Speaking about where we are today in the legal profession, and the state of legal education, it is such a unique time right now. You have so much exposure to the legal sector on numerous fronts with your work with your firm, the Master’s Conference, the University of Florida, and more. Many students graduating from law school and new attorneys entering the job market are concerned with the state of the professional today and the opportunities that are available to them. What advice do you have for new attorneys entering the legal sector during these challenging times?
We begin this part of our discussion with some fantastic words of wisdom from Kelly related to what she does when embarking on something new. She tells us to make a list of exactly what you want and then seek out those opportunities. It’s difficult to sell yourself into opportunities that you don’t want, and you dimmish your value when you do that.
Kelly drops one of my favorite quotes of our discussion at this point, “There is a lot of talk about how many lawyers there are in the world, but there are not enough for the people that need them.”
eDiscovery practitioners frequently highlight performing targeted collections as a best practice. You can use this same best practice when planning your career. Take a targeted approach to where you want to work and the type(s) of law you want to practice. Avoid the shotgun method of just blanketing everything without focus and taking whatever you hit. Historically, if you wanted to practice litigation you were told to be a generalist. However, in today’s legal market, specialization is very important. Play around with your law school classes and see what you like. See what fits best with your overall professional goals. Despite the current challenges facing the legal job market, now, more than ever, there is a wider breadth of opportunity with regards to what you can do with a law degree beyond the traditional law firm (e.g., consulting companies, service providers, technology developers, ALSPs, and more).
I wanted to note your love of basketball. Note that as someone with an undergraduate degree and a JD from UNC Chapel Hill, and a rabid Tarheel, I won’t hold it against you that you are specifically fond of Kentucky, which first, has colors very similar to Duke, and second, beat UNC in the 2011 Elite 8 game in Newark, NJ to head to the Final Four. I think there are many parallels between athletes and eDiscovery practitioners. There is actually a blog piece regarding eDiscovery tips from Marathoners on The Guide. What are the parallels you see between success in the court room and success on the court?
After a bit of a friendly sparring session on UNC basketball vs. Kentucky basketball, my experience with the loss to Nova during the NCAA National Championship in 2016, not wanting to jinx UNC basketball again, and Kelly’s traumatic experience attending the 2017 Final Four in Phoenix, AZ, Kelly discusses her lifelong connection with basketball. We also jump into the 2021 Kentucky Marathon, and more.
In discussing the relationship between her athletic prowess and success in the legal sector, Kelly gives us another one of my favorite quotes from our talk:
“I can’t imagine a bigger team sport than trying a case.”
Kelly approaches her professional efforts with ESI Attorneys with a strong team mentality. She highlights the importance of tackling eDiscovery issues in a collaborative way with both your internal team and outside stakeholders. When they are serving as discovery counsel for a client, they build cohesion among outside counsel, in-house counsel, third party service providers and technology developers to enhance the overall effort and promote successful outcomes. Essentially, they act as an extension of the client. eDiscovery is a team sport!
What are three items in your eDiscovery Survival Kit?
- The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and eDiscovery Assistant. You need the case law that goes along with the FRCP. [We gave a pass on this one and count these two items together as one because together they make an amazing survival tool.]
- The continued ability to always ask a question when there are unknowns. The only way to continue learning about technology, and to understand how technology works, which then allows you to apply your legal strategy, is to ask the questions that help uncover the unknown answers. You must be willing to put yourself out there.
- The continued desire to learn about new things. Kelly’s job is to address any type of case with her ESI-related expertise. She notes that you cannot be an expert in all substantive areas of the law and underscores the importance of learning from substantive experts about their disciplines so that her team can then apply their solutions.
You have created so many unique resources for the legal community to help build competency and move the profession forward. What’s next?
Kelly is an idea machine, but she is squarely focused on eDiscovery Assistant and building out the learning center we discussed earlier. There are some other tricks up her sleeve, but for now she is keeping those under lock and key.
As many of you know, baking has been the secret skill I uncovered during the lockdown. Kelly is quite the prolific baker herself, and at one time almost started a cookie company. So maybe if our eDiscovery paths come to a halt, a joint venture, technology-themed bakery might be in our future! However, I am 100% confident that Kelly’s eDiscovery path will never come to a halt and will continue to grow longer and wider for as long as she wants.
Thank you Kelly! There is so much more for us to discuss, and hopefully we will see you back on The Guide soon!
As the sun sets on our conversation (literally, as you can see in the video), Kelly leaves us with some important thoughts. She tells us all to keep exploring our limits, to keep learning, to keep growing, to find new opportunities if we are pigeonholed, and to stay inquisitive.
Now everyone, go visit ESI Attorneys at www.esiattorneys.com, eDiscovery Assistant at www.eDiscoveryAssistant.com and #CaseOfTheWeek on the ACEDS YouTube Channel here – http://bit.ly/3ciFupy.
Thank you all for tuning in!

The best thing you can do for your child’s education is to get them hooked on reading early. Whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, magazines, or comic books, the more a child reads, the more likely he or she is to succeed.
Children who can’t read by the start of the fourth grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school and will likely remain behind their peers academically in later school years. That’s unacceptable.
Fortunately, there’s plenty parents can do to help struggling readers get on track:
- Set aside 20 minutes every day for either individual quiet reading or read aloud time
- Ask your child’s teacher or principal about specialized reading programs
- Take your child to sign up for a library card
- Make regular visits to the library so they can pick out fun books and explore
- Encourage your child to read newspaper articles or restaurant menus aloud
- Make audio books a regular part of car trips
- Find age-appropriate word puzzles to help increase vocabulary
- Download literacy apps for comprehension, phonics, spelling, and more
In Massachusetts, Stand is leading a multi-year plan to improve third grade reading proficiency. This means more reading coaches and interventionists in schools, better literacy curriculum, identifying struggling readers, summer literacy classes, and other supportive programs and resources.
Summer is an especially excellent time to get kids interested in reading to avoid the dreaded “summer slide” – the tendency for students to lose knowledge and achievement gains made during the school year over the summer break.
In Indianapolis, we’ve launched the Every Child Reads Summer Reading Challenge. Families pledge to read 20 minutes a day to introduce kids to the joys of reading and help to create a sustainable reading routine at home.
In Chicago, the Every Child Reads at Home program provides participating students with free tablets, loaded with access to thousands of books. Families receive personalized text messages to support their reading goals and are part of a community focused on tips to build a long-term reading routine at home.
Use this summer wisely. Visit a library. Go to a comic book store. Help your child fall in love with reading.

The bank was among several financial institutions that set up new services to assist clients in coping with the COVID-19 crisis.
The bank announced the launch of the online account opening service Wednesday. It invites customers wishing to open an account from abroad to benefit from assistance if necessary through its Customer Relations Center.
The bank said the new service is completely secure and in line with regulations on the use of personal data.
Banque Populaire accompanied the new service with an offer that is valid until September 20, allowing those who open an account to benefit from a free package of “essential” bank services for one year.
The bank also advises its customers to use online services for account consultations, to pay invoices, and to execute cash transfers.
Banque Populaire also offers new customers free transfer and cash transfer services through the Pocket Bank mobile application until September 30.
The bank reaffirmed its ambition to “remain the benchmark bank for Moroccans in the world, with an offer of products and services constantly updated to best meet their experiences and needs.”
In May, the bank announced free online services. It has been allowing customers, including MREs, to transfer money through the Chaabi Net website or Pocket Bank mobile application without fees, to support its clients amid theCOVID-19 crisis.
In 2019, the bank celebrated 55 years of support for MREs, launching the Bladi Summer Tour from July to August. The tour was a series of entertainment and cultural events for international Moroccans who come back to Morocco annually during holidays.
The events take place in the cities of Agadir, El Jadida, Martil, Al Hoceima, Nador, and other cities.
BCP has representations across the world, including in the US, France, Denmark, the UAE, the EU, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Canada.

1967 MADELINE AND THE GYPSIES First Edition Hardcover Archival Sleeve
1967 MADELINE AND THE GYPSIES by Ludwig Bemelmans. It is a First edition fourth printing. The dust jacket shows wear around the edges and has been placed in a protective Archival Sleeve. There is a bookplate inside the front cover.
Madeline and the Gypsies was first published in 1959 by Viking Press. In the story, the son of the Spanish Ambassador, invites Madeline and her fellow students to a Gypsy carnival. Madeline and the Gypsies is at the top of many banned books lists, because it has content that addresses racial issues. If you are a collector of banned books, this is one you want on your library Shelf.


Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.
Newton used the third law to derive the law of conservation of momentum; from a deeper perspective, however, conservation of momentum is the more fundamental idea (derived via Noether's theorem from Galilean invariance), and holds in cases where Newton's third law appears to fail, for instance when force fields as well as particles carry ...

Newton’s Third law motion: The third law of motion states that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object instantaneously exerts a force back on the first. These two forces are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Note: These forces act on different objects and never on the same object.

Google has announced a partnership with chipmaker Arm to design an Android-ready MTE extension for reducing the number of memory-related vulnerabilities in the mobile platform.
Last week, Kostya Serebryany from Google Core Systems and Sudhi Herle, a member of the Android Security & Privacy Team said that both companies will work together to design the memory tagging extension (MTE), a hardware feature that will function as a memory bug scanning tool.
"Memory safety bugs, common in C and C++, remain one of the largest vulnerabilities in the Android platform and although there have been previous hardening efforts, memory safety bugs comprised more than half of the high priority security bugs in Android 9," Google says. "Additionally, memory safety bugs manifest as hard to diagnose reliability problems, including sporadic crashes or silent data corruption."
In order to give "user satisfaction" a boost and potentially bring down the cost of software development, Google and Arm's MTE design will focus on detecting bugs with "low overhead."
See also: Anubis Android banking malware returns with extensive financial app hit list
MTE will execute in one of two ways; a "precise" mode that will provide detailed information concerning a memory error or security flaw, and "imprecise" mode, which does not require heavy computational power and could, therefore, be an always-on feature.
Arm has published a whitepaper documenting the applications of MTE. In an accompanying blog post, the chip designer said that MTE can detect the two main types of memory issues that exist.
The first is the violation of spatial safety, which occurs when an object is accessed outside of its correct bounds. The second is temporal safety violation, a problem which can be exploited when an object reference is used after its expiry and once the object's memory is freed -- also known as use-after-free vulnerabilities.
CNET: Equifax settlement: Discover if you're eligible, file a claim, see what you'll get
Google says that MTE will be useful for testing and fuzzing in laboratory environments and will find "more bugs in a fraction of the time and at a lower cost," and the hardware will also be able to provide reports as detailed as those generated by today's ASAN and HWASAN tools.
In addition, Google believes MTE will assist Android developers and OEMs in testing software through the development lifecycle.
While HWASAN has already been tested on the Android platform and with a small number of applications -- finding almost 100 memory bugs in the process -- Google says that MTE will likely vastly improve on these results in terms of cost reduction, ease of use, and scalability.
TechRepublic: How to build a vulnerability response plan: 6 tips
Google is now working with Arm System On Chip (SoC) vendors to test MTE support for the Android software stack.
"We believe that memory tagging will detect the most common classes of memory safety bugs in the wild, helping vendors identify and fix them, discouraging malicious actors from exploiting them," the tech giant says. "We are considering MTE as a possible foundational requirement for certain tiers of Android devices."

Medal of Honor gets limited edition
EA has announced a premium-priced Medal of Honor Limited Edition, but there's little to justify the extra cost.
A PlayStation 3-specific version including a remastered copy of Medal of Honor: Frontline sounds like a good reason for shelling out extra cash for a special boxed copy, yet the official Medal of Honor Limited Edition can't claim such a compelling bonus.
Access to three guns - MP7 sub-machine gun, TOZ-194 and 870MC2 shotguns - are all you get for the added price--that's it. To be clear, EA admits that the TOZ-194 and 870MC2 shotguns can be unlocked in the standard version of the game; in other words, for the extra money you're getting one gun.
Medal of Honor will be available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on October 12.

I just purchased the JM-AG45 and I couldn’t be more pleased. In fact it is now my main Guitar for all of my live shows and recording. I’ve been a semi and pro player for 50 years and I was very surprised at the tonal qualities and build of this guitar
I’m soo in love with this guitar!!
I remember playing an AMI guitar for the first time at Summer NAMM in Nashville and loved the feel and the well balanced tone in the acoustic setting.
Then I got one, and it got even better.
The fullness of sound I got out of the box it was shipped in was flawless. Then I plugged it in, and as a performing artist and songwriter, I just knew that “Scarlett” (that’s what she has been named) was going to be such a huge asset to each performance. Taking her to venues performances, compared to the guitar I used to tour with was night and day. Like I said, the fullness of tone from top to bottom is super balanced. Yet, even better was each compliment I received from sounds guys, other guitar players and fans who all thought the guitar was not only “beautiful” but sounded and played great. They say that every guitar has a song and a story, I can’t wait to see what journey this AMI AG200 takes me on.
I’m absolutely loving my AMI SJM AG45 Guitar! The tone is so even and balanced across the spectrum. From small theaters to large outdoor venues, It plays in tune, stays in tune, and sounds fantastic! It is a pleasure to have out on The Little River Band tour! Thank you AMI for making such a great instrument.
I had the opportunity to try the AMI Classical Guitar (model CMC-6E) and I fould that it had a nice feel and sound. The sound of the guitar is a great match for my playing and for the styles of my playing (Peru Negro, Festejo, Musica Criolla, Valse Criollo, Peruvian Cumbia, etc). It also has a very good amplification system (Fishman) and excellent resonance and tone. I highly recommend the CMC-6E to classical guitar players of all styles of music.
It has a very good amplification system and very good resonance which I recommend
The AMI model GZCE-3 is an amazing guitar. I use it both when I play solo and when I play in ensemble settings. When I play it I feel inspired to create melodies and songs in a special way. It plays really well and easily and has well balanced intonation throughout the fingerboard. When finger-picked, the notes are succinct and articulate and when strummed it projects a brilliant but warm hum due to the solid Alpine Sitka Spruce top. The Fishman Flex Plus pickup system provides true transparency of sound and its simple 3 (three) knob control panel facilitates efficiently expedient control when amplified. I brought it to a recent recording session and the engineer was stunned he heard how good the rich tones sounded. It also looks as beautiful as it sounds, from the natural lines of the wood on the top, to the beautiful inlays to the stunningly elegant headstock. The GZCE-3 is a real head turner and ear pleaser.

I have played many acoustic bass guitars over the years. The AMI bass boomed and filled the room with bass-tone the first time I tried it. Especially cool was the fretless model! I had never seen a fretless acoustic bass before. The AMI and I developed a tight bond the second I twanged it. What fun it is to slip and slide on that perfect neck! The fret lines indicate spot-on intonation, but this bass is so fine that you can play it blindfolded! The built-in tuner can be seen with the lights off, too! Amplified, this axe rocks and rolls! Slapping and sliding! The only problem is that you can’t stand on it.
I love my AMI guitar (model SGBCE5) because it has inspires my songwriting and it has a warm and vibrant feel. It’s like the craftsmanship and wood create a bond with my creativity. I am really excited to play it whether I am writing alone, with songwriting partners, playing live gigs or online performances. Kelly’s Lot is turning 25 (twenty five) years old and my AMI guitar has brought a breath of new inspiration to our music.
Thank you, AMI Guitars!
I really like AMI guitars. They are all so beautiful, play well and sound incredible. My AMI Resonator guitar is an amazing instrument because it sounds really good acoustically and it also sounds amazing when plugged in. It is the only resonator guitar that I play. I recommend it to any guitar player!
I am absolutely thrilled with my AMI resonator guitar
Got AMI guitars. Blown away. Working on a project I’m producing and these guitars record unbelievably well … Holy cow …
Love my JTC-40! Thanks, AMI!
Some guitars are easy to put down…or easy to hang back on the music store wall. Not so with the AMI 5-string acoustic bass. These guitars have something to say and they ask you to say it with them. After opening the case, the AMI and I lost about 90 minutes getting to know each other! It takes you places you hadn’t been to before.
The AMI is my ﬁrst experience with a mahogany body. I can’t tell you why it does what it does, but it has wonderful clarity from the low B to the high F#…and yet still has a warm depth to that same range.
Proof in the pudding is to just sit on the low C. You can thump it, or ﬁnesse the low end…either one sounds great. There’s no sign of a rattle or buzz being set oﬀ by any frequency range…a common problem in a lot of poorly constructed acoustic basses.
I can’t wait to get into a studio with a great engineer and use this bass to record new music.
I’ve been playing music since I was 14 years old. I’ve played the pawn shop guitars and I’ve played the high dollar “big name” brands. But I have never had a guitar like my AMI Guitar where the craftsmanship, playability and sound represent an instrument in a class far beyond the affordable price. I was a Gibson man but after getting my AMI Jumbo, I was hooked. AMI is a brand that I’m proud to have on stage with me every night.

Seventy-five years after the end of World War II, two men previously unaware of each other’s existence — one living in Hiroshima Prefecture and the other far away in the French territory of New Caledonia — renewed their ties of kinship online after they had been broken up by the vagaries of the war.
Robert Tagawa, 71, a resident of New Caledonia, talked in a video chat for the first time in early August with Tomonori Tagawa, 78, who lives in Shobara, Hiroshima Prefecture. Robert’s grandfather was Tomonori’s uncle.
Immediately after the war in the Pacific broke out, Kameichi Tagawa, Robert’s now deceased grandfather, was detained as an enemy alien and ousted from New Caledonia, to which he had emigrated. As a result, Kameichi was separated from his local family.
“It’s like a dream come true,” Robert told Tomonori with excitement on Aug. 2 in a video chat. He added he was finally able to have peace of mind after struggling to identify his true origins. The two men promised that they would visit Kameichi’s grave together after the coronavirus pandemic is over.
Later on Aug. 14, Tomonori visited Kameichi’s grave near his home. As he placed his hands together in prayer before the tomb, he said, “Your grandchildren are living happily in New Caledonia.”
Robert had gone to great lengths in tracing the whereabouts of his late grandfather, whom he had never met in person. He sought help from Hiramatsu Ireland Benjamin, 30, an assistant professor at Texas Christian University who studies Japanese immigrants in the Asia-Pacific region. In July, Robert discovered that Tomonori lived in Hiroshima Prefecture.
Kameichi’s life was full of hardship. He was one of about 5,000 immigrants who left Japan for New Caledonia, now a popular tourist spot, during the Meiji Era (1868-1912) and Taisho Era (1912-26) to work in nickel mines.
In 1914, he headed to the island of New Caledonia from his home in Hiroshima when he was 21 years old. After working in the mines, he owned a retail shop, married a local woman and fathered a son — Robert’s father.
Kameichi’s life took a turn for the worse in December 1941, 27 years after he arrived on the island. With Japan at war with the United States, Japanese residents in New Caledonia were detained by French authorities and their assets were confiscated. Some of them were sent to concentration camps, separating them from their families. Kameichi, then 48, went through a similar fate and was sent back to Japan in 1942.
In 1953, Kameichi’s only son died in an accident at sea. He was survived by his two children, Robert and his older sister, Geneva, 72. The only clue the two of them had of Kameichi was a letter he had written to his family from one of the concentration camps.
Tomonori, on the other hand, remembers Kameichi as a smart uncle who worked in the research department of a local steel company after he returned to his hometown in 1943. Kameichi re-married when he was 55 and died at the age of 80 in 1974.
After the war ended, Kameichi never revisited the island where he used to live and was reluctant to talk about his life there. But when Tomonori was very young, Kameichi showed him a photograph of his wedding ceremony on the island.
“I assume he missed his family in New Caledonia. He probably would have had a different life had the war not occurred,” Tomonori said.

Fulfilling a vow....
At last! After months of watching reviews on YouTube (Bjorn and RichRebuilds), the time was right and I took the plunge to become an EV owner. So far (2 weeks and counting) i’m Loving it!
In 2004 I bought my first car and only car. I vowed my next car purchase would run on hydrogen. I sorta fulfilled that vow, as hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity to operate the electrical motors, so it’s semantics that I have an EV without the hydrogen. Still a win!
It’s also nostalgic to drive my iPace as in University I was part of a solar car project and raced across Australia and the US with a 5KWH battery pack and 500W solar array.
Glad to be apart of this community and the EV pioneers.

Emirates wants to fly to more destinations in India but one thing is restricting the airline from doing so. The airline said that government authorities are working to overcome this.
Exhausted bilateral rights
Emirates currently operates 170-weekly flights to nine destinations in India. These are Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. Under the current air services bilateral agreement between India and the United Arab Emirates, Emirates is allowed 66,000-seats-a-week, which it is already using, meaning that the rights are already exhausted.
The airline wants to expand and add additional destinations in India, for which it has sought 50,000 additional seats-a-week. The bilateral agreement between India and the UAE was last expanded nearly a decade ago. While carriers from UAE have already exhausted their flying rights, Indian carriers are also very close to exhausting their rights.
Historically, Dubai has been the city which sees the maximum demand from Indian travellers and it is natural for an airline like Emirates, which has been the largest foreign carrier in India since a long time, to demand additional rights to expand in the country.
Emirates says that it wants to start flying to cities like Surat, Amritsar, Lucknow and Goa MOPA and later to Navi Mumbai Airport and Jewar Airport in India whenever they open.
In an interview with Times of India, Mohammad Sarhan, Vice President for India and Nepal, Emirates, said:
We are working hard with the civil aviation (authorities) in India and the UAE to try to increase the bilaterals for airlines of both sides and passengers to benefit. We are operating at peak allowed capacity in Delhi under the sub-limits of the existing bilaterals. We have been in consultation (for enhancing bilaterals). India and UAE are in talks for a (virtually) free trade agreement and airlines can make that more effective with more flights carrying more cargo.
He added that the Middle Eastern carrier will not look at inorganic growth by investing in an Indian carrier.
We recently signed code share with United, which used to be our competitor. Things can change. Though nothing at the moment, at some point we can have a strong code share partnership with an Indian carrier (the one with SpiceJet did not take off). The relationship between India and UAE, between Prime Minister Modi and our top leadership, is amazing. We continue to request both the governments fro enhanced bilaterals. We are not interested (in picking up stake in Indian carrier).he said.

As aforementioned, Emirates has long been the largest foreign carrier in India. Air India, under new ownership of Tata Group, also has big plans for international expansion and it will certainly look at expanding its market share in India-UAE market. On this, Sarhan said the following:
We are a dynamic airline and always keep an eye on our competitors. We do have to really react but do our own route modifications. At the moment we do not see anything to worry about. We operate in several markets that have strong airlines. There are always some consumers who like to go nonstop and others who want to take break to stretch their legs. We always differentiate ourselves on our product and services. It’s not just about a direct flight but also the product. We welcome healthy competition.
Sarhan said that Indian carriers are not taking full advantage of their share of pie. He said that the expansion of bilateral rights will not only be good for the airlines who can delivery capacity when required but also to travellers who will have more and much better options when choosing an airline to fly. He says that the Indian consumer suffers by the limited bilateral as they have to pay more while in return, the product may also be not that good.
Emirates has begun retrofitting 120 aircraft – both the Airbus A380s and Boeing B777s – with its new Premium Economy cabin. Sarhan added that Mumbai will be the first in India to get the Premium Economy cabin as and when more number of aircraft are retrofitted.
Emirates has long been demanding additional bilateral rights. In the current scenario where Emirates only has wide-body aircraft such as the A380 and B777, the airline only has one option to expand in India under the current bilateral rights. That is to reduce the frequency to existing destinations and introduce new destinations. Now that is a complex thing to do as reducing capacity in a market which already has that much demand to support the deployed capacity is not what an airline will want to do.
The other way around is what Emirates wants to do, that is to expand bilateral rights and then it is up to the airlines m how much capacity to deploy where. This requires the support of both the countries’ governments, whereby they both agree to expand the bilateral rights or sign an open skies agreement where there is no limit as to how many flights an airline can operate between two countries.
Emirates has the support needed from the UAE government and it will surely push the governments. However, it remains to be seen when will be see the expansion of bilateral rights between India and UAE. It will surely be sooner than later, given an airline as big as Emirates is pushing for the same.

New research from the Florida State University College of Medicine found that changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease are often visible early on in individuals with personality traits associated with the condition.
The study focused on two traits previously linked to the risk of dementia: neuroticism, which measures a predisposition for negative emotions, and conscientiousness, which measures the tendency to be careful, organized, goal-directed and responsible.
“We have done studies showing who’s at risk of developing dementia, but those other studies were looking at the clinical diagnosis,” said Antonio Terracciano, professor of geriatrics at the College of Medicine. “Here, we are looking at the neuropathology; that is, the lesions in the brain that tell us about the underlying pathological change. This study shows that even before clinical dementia, personality predicts the accumulation of pathology associated with dementia.”
The findings, published as an article-in-press online with Biological Psychiatry and also available through FSU’s open access research repository, combine data from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) and previously published work in a meta-analysis that summarized 12 studies on personality and Alzheimer’s neuropathology. The studies combined included more than 3,000 participants. Combining results across studies provides more robust estimates of the associations between personality and neuropathology than a single individual study can typically provide.
In both the BLSA and meta-analysis, the researchers found more amyloid and tau deposits (the proteins responsible for the plaques and tangles that characterize Alzheimer’s disease) in participants who scored higher in neuroticism and lower in conscientiousness.
The team also found associations to be stronger in studies of cognitively normal people compared to studies that included people with cognitive problems.
The findings suggest that personality can help protect against Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases by delaying or preventing the emergence of neuropathology for those strong in conscientiousness and low in neuroticism.
“Such protection against neuropathology may derive from a lifetime difference in people’s emotions and behaviors,” Terracciano said. “For example, past research has shown that low neuroticism helps with managing stress and reduces the risk of common mental health disorders. Similarly, high conscientiousness is consistently related to healthy lifestyles, like physical activity. Over time, more adaptive personality traits can better support metabolic and immunological functions, and ultimately prevent or delay the neurodegeneration process.”
The BLSA is a scientific study of human aging conducted by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), that began in 1958. Personality was measured using a five-factor personality test, the most common personality assessment tool. At the time of their enrollment in the BLSA neuroimaging sub-study, all participants were free of dementia or other severe medical conditions.
Advances in brain scan technology used to assess in vivo amyloid and tau neuropathology made it possible for researchers to complete this work.
“Until recently, researchers measured amyloid and tau in the brain through autopsy — after people died,” Terracciano said. “In recent years, advances in medical imaging have made it possible to assess neuropathology when people are still alive, even before they show any symptoms.”

First up are this DIY table number cards, which are really not that hard to make and can dress up each of your tables. My color scheme is pale pink, peach, gold (or glitter gold), and accents of dark green or mint green here and there. You will Need: -fancy paper for the numbers (I used gold glitter paper) - solid color paper -scissors -glue and/or tape 1. Print out your table numbers in large font. You can use Microsoft word or Adobe Illustrator etc, just make sure the font is large enough for your cards. 2. Once your numbers are cut, you need to trace them on your pretty glitter paper and then cut them out. These will be used for your cards. 3. Next, glue your glittery numbers on your cards.

The Mille Miglia 2011 at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort
| Print |
Mugello is known by engines lovers not only for the Moto Grand Prix held each year at the Mugello Circuit but also for its beautiful roads that wind through beautiful valleys, surrounded by stunning landscapes and ancient castles.
It's not a coincidence that Mugello is one of the historical stages of the Mille Miglia, the car race perhaps most loved by Italians. It is a race, born in 1927, which brings together vintage car that will compete on the route between Brescia and Rome, round trip.
Attending to the passage of the Mille Miglia is an event that allows you to see real gems on four wheels: in Mugello classic cars drive through the valleys between Florence and Bologna on the road of Passo della Futa and Raticosa, considered one of the 100 most beautiful routes in Italy for landscape, driving pleasure and cultural interest, since the area is rich in villas, towers and fortresses.
But this year the Mille Miglia was a gift to the guests at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort: during the return journey from Rome to Brescia, a group of participants stopped to spend the night in our Resort.
The next morning cars were roaring along our tree-lined street for the last leg of the race that has crowned the winners duo Giordano Mozzi, Stefania Biacca and their Aston Martin Le Mans in 1933.
The next appointment with the passage of the Mille Miglia is in the spring 2012, but if you would like to enjoy the old road that links Florence and Bologna on board of your car or bike, Mugello is waiting for the whole year.

The Scotchman Peaks Roadless Area encompasses 88,000 acres of diverse and unique public lands in northern Idaho and northwestern Montana. Known for its thriving mountain goat herd, the area is also a refuge for rare fish and wildlife species such as bull trout and grizzly bear. Visitors to the area are awed by massive old growth cedar trees and stunning alpine vistas.
Nearby are the communities of Clark Fork, Hope and Sandpoint, Idaho, as well as Troy, Noxon and Heron, Montana. These communities enjoy an unparalleled quality of life, due in part to the access they have to the Scotchman Peaks. Recreationists that visit the area also patronize the hotels, shops, restaurants and businesses located in these communities.
Visitors to the Scotchman Peaks enjoy hiking, hunting, fishing, photography and watching the wildlife there. Our conservation partners would like to see this unique area with its exceptional values protected as wilderness. Because there is no motorized and mechanized transportation allowed there now, designating the Scotchman Peaks as wilderness would not change any of the existing access.
The land management plans for the Kootenai and Idaho Panhandle National Forests recommend that Congress designate approximately 61,800 acres of the Scotchman Peaks as wilderness.

Having recently celebrated both International Women’s Day and Harmony Day, the importance of diversity, inclusion, participation and engagement has been at the forefront of most peoples’ minds of late. While the immense value of embracing a diverse and inclusive society is evident, often the most difficult aspect is knowing how to put the ideology into practice in our own workplaces.
Quite often the best way to generate fresh ideas is to look at what others are doing, so I caught up with Jonathon Colbran, Partner and member of RSM’s National Diversity Task Force at RSM in Canberra, who gave me a run-down on some of the initiatives they’re working on. Here’s what I found out…
Making it a priority
Any good diversity and inclusion strategy starts by understanding why you need one, then making it a priority.
At RSM, the need for a solid diversity and inclusion strategy was evident when they recognised that while they had a diverse practice as a whole, this wasn’t reflected at all levels of the organisation. Gender diversity was a prime example—while they had a relatively even 50/50 gender balance across the organisation, this wasn’t the case at the more senior levels with the number of male partners far outweighing the number of female partners.
“We know exactly how important diversity is and the wealth of benefits that come from creating an inclusive work environment. There’s so much literature that makes the numerous benefits of embracing diversity abundantly clear, whether it be through better team member engagement, the generation of fresh and innovative ideas or even smarter solutions for your clients,” Jonathon said.
“Because people approach problems from different perspectives, you can ultimately produce a better product or outcome. When you bring together people with different backgrounds, experience and skill sets, you get different points of view which can drive a multitude of benefits for your business.”
“Our clients themselves come from a range of different backgrounds, locations, cultures and age brackets and they all need and want different things. By having a diverse team, we’re better equipped to see and respond to our clients’ needs and nurture those relationships.”
Having identified the need to improve diversity throughout the organisation, about 12 months ago the firm decided to make diversity and inclusion a priority, starting with the establishment of a national organising committee (referred to internally as the National Diversity Task Force) which is responsible for managing their ‘Diversify Strategy’.
The committee not only comprised of both male and female leaders from different cultural backgrounds, but also included very senior team members at the Executive Partner level, including both our most senior female Executive Partner as Chairperson and our National Chairman. “By establishing a committee of this calibre, we were making a very clear statement of just how important diversity is to us and that we want to ‘walk the talk’ at all levels of the organisation,” said Jonathan.
Putting the strategy into practice
The next step was to find ways to put the strategy into practice, which they did by implementing a range of training, policy, leadership and networking initiatives.
They offered unconscious bias training across all senior levels of the organisation, providing staff with expert advice and guidance around how to eliminate bias when approaching problems and making decisions. “The training was designed to highlight the fact that we all have conscious and unconscious biases, and to provide staff with the tools to ensure they eliminate those biases from our decision-making processes,” Jonathan said.
Better communication around the flexible working arrangements that are available to staff. “We rejuvenated our policy and sent out a lot of communication to let our 1000+ strong team know what the policy is and how they can apply for flexible working arrangements. We also developed a series of videos highlighting why those arrangements were beneficial to both team members and the broader organisation.”
“We also made sure our maternity and paternity policies go beyond compliance to meet the needs of our teams, giving young men and women the time off that they need to start a family. In my team in Canberra, many of us (from support staff through to myself personally) have a range of formal and informal flexible working arrangements in place which allow us to do what we need to do in both our personal and professional lives.”
The organisation is also placing focus on their mentorship program. While they’ve had a mentoring program in place for many years, it has its limitations—specifically due to the lack of female mentors available within the organisation.
“For a mentorship program to work, you need to match the right mentors to the right talent and in the case of young female staff members, a male mentor may not necessarily be the right fit for them. To tackle this, we’re looking at ways to source some suitable female mentors externally to come in and support our up-and-coming female staff members to grow into the leaders that they want to be,” Jonathan said.
Finally, they also realised the importance of networking in improving diversity. While they had been running the non-gender-specific RSM Future Leaders’ initiative for several years, nothing existed specifically for women. It was only when a group of young women from within the practice took the initiative to approach the partners with a proposal to establish a womens’ networking group that Women with SASS (Strength, Ambition, Sophistication and Smarts) was formed.
The thought-leadership networking group which has now been running for more than two years, provides female staff the opportunity to build relationships with other like-minded women throughout the Canberra region through events, luncheons or presentations.
“The best part is that it’s a ground-up initiative that is entirely driven and managed by the women in our office which has been a great success in Canberra. In fact, it’s been so successful that we’re considering if it’s an initiative that we can also roll out nationally to benefit more women in our offices around the country,” Jonathan said.
Onwards and upwards
Ultimately, a truly diverse and inclusive workplace starts by taking the first step—making it a key priority. If businesses don’t make it a priority at the highest levels, it’s going to be a very difficult journey to actively drive improvements in this area.
“Having been with the organisation for more than 15 years, I’ve witnessed first-hand that when the firm makes anything a key priority and it’s coupled with some good local initiatives, it’s invariably successful and beneficial for our people, our clients and the organisation as a whole,” Jonathon said.
“While we know we’ve got a bit of a way to go, it’s great to already be seeing so many positive results.”
