Own Your Story, Lead the Change: Soft Skills in the Age of AI

Sunday, 3 May 2026

The transition from Clinical Data Management to Clinical Data Science is not just a shift in job title - it’s a fundamental reimagining of who we are as professionals. Technical expertise will only take you so far. What will truly set you apart is the combination of a compelling personal brand and the soft skills the SCDM Competency Framework identifies as essential for the next generation of CDS professionals. This workshop brings those two worlds together. We explore how your personal brand - the story you tell, the presence you project, and the reputation you build - is inextricably linked to the critical thinking, communication, adaptability, and cross-functional collaboration skills that define today’s most impactful Clinical Data Scientists.
