In this session you should expect to hear from SMEs across the industry about the application of Risk Based Data Management and AI/ML with a focus on the processes and people. You will hear from those that have experimented and have been successful as well as those that have experimented and failed to better understand where others are taking chances and learning and how they are translating these learnings into new processes and skills for the CDMs. How can we develop processes and people to be more effective in support of Risk Based approached to the execution of data management in clinical trials. Understanding what has come before, what is happening now and what is possible to come is important for all CDM organizations in the future.
