Setting up a CLM: From Pilot to Production in 90 Days

Watch On-Demand

‍

Implementing a Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) system is often seen as long, complex, and resource-heavy, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right framework, cross-team alignment, and disciplined pilot strategy, legal functions can go from proof of concept to production in just 90 days. In this discussion, leaders from Deloitte, IHG, Artificial Lawyer, and SpotDraft share hard-earned lessons from real implementations: what worked, what didn’t, and what separates a successful rollout from shelfware.

‍

‍What you’ll learn:

‍

Define success early: How to scope and structure a CLM pilot that’s measurable and repeatable.
Avoid the pitfalls: The most common reasons implementations stall—and how to prevent them.
Adoption & change management: Winning executive buy-in and bringing business users along.
Post-implementation ROI: Proving success through data—time saved, risk visibility, and faster deal cycles.
The AI advantage: Using generative AI to accelerate drafting, improve search, and enhance negotiation.
Future-ready workflows: Agentic AI and integration trends shaping the next generation of CLMs.
