𝗖𝗶𝗮𝗼 𝗥𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘇𝘇𝗶 & 𝗛𝗲𝗷 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿! 👋

The highlight of my month? No doubt: the Grundfos Legal Offsite in Italy.  🇮🇹 ✨ 

Since December last year, we at This is Legal Design have had the joy of working with GRUNDFOS on some truly exciting projects — from contract redesign, to service & product redesign, all the way to an amazing Legal Ops initiative.

And then came the cherry on top: a fantastic "workshop" in Italy, just a stone’s throw from Venice. A huge thank you to Tamara Dias for your support throughout this journey. And to the wonderful Elisabeth Ilsø Hougaard, Founder of The Mindful Business, with whom we curated something closer to a Legal Design #Retreat. Calling it just a “workshop” would really be an understatement. 🦄  𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆?

➡️ How might we create user-friendly, accessible & effective services for the business to enhance the Legal Front Door?

The Grundfos Legal Team was truly one of a kind. Thank you — and Mange tak — for your trust, energy, and openness to the process!

What made it extra special was the structure of the retreat itself: the rhythm of the day mirrored the Double Diamond — with convergent & divergent thinking beautifully balanced. Thanks to Elisabeth each phase was elevated by a neuro-refresher: mindful breathing, pauses for reflection, and even a closing yoga session. 🧘‍♀️ 

🎉 Andreas Ilum, Bente Overgaard Nielsen, Michael Simmons & Alexander Maierski — bravissimo! Thank you for making this experience so memorable. 

Sometimes, legal innovation looks less like figma & spreadsheets — and more like salty air, post-its, and a bit of yoga. Who knew?
