Clinical Research (Virtual) Forum - 260623

"From Monitoring to Insight: How Project Managers Drive Risk-Based Strategies in Modern Clinical Trials" presented by Elizabeth Adeusi, Senior Project Manager at ICON PLC

The Clinical Research Forum provides value to the PMI Atlanta community by regularly discussing the various aspects of clinical trial projects with a special focus on the need to anticipate, understand, and implement detailed project management activities in a proactive manner for clinical trials in the pharmaceutical industry.

Presentation Details

As clinical trials become increasingly complex and data-driven, project managers are no longer just overseeing execution, they are driving how risk is identified, prioritized, and acted upon to ensure data integrity, protect patient safety, and keep studies on track.

Traditional monitoring approaches are no longer sufficient to ensure quality, efficiency, and patient safety. Risk-based strategies help teams focus on the most critical data and risks that impact study outcomes.

This session explores how project managers play a key role in translating data into actionable insight. Drawing on real-world clinical trial experience, it will demonstrate how risk indicators and data-driven approaches can be used to proactively identify risks, prioritize actions, and support informed decision-making.

Attendees will gain practical strategies to apply risk-based thinking, improve resource allocation, and align cross-functional teams in fast-paced, complex environments - within clinical research and beyond.

Key Takeaways

Attendees will learn how to:

• Recognize the project manager's role in risk-based clinical trial strategies.
• Use risk indicators and data to support proactive decision-making.
• Prioritize actions and resources around the most critical study risks.
• Improve cross-functional alignment in complex project environments.
• Apply risk-based thinking beyond clinical research.
