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.

Clinical Data Management is shifting from static data curation to a more dynamic way of working, where agentic AI can anticipate needs, orchestrate workflows, and collaborate with you. If you want to move beyond the buzzwords, this workshop shows you how agentic AI actually works in clinical data settings, and how to apply it to real use cases that improve data quality, accelerate processes, and free up time for higher‑value work. And just like the SCDM EMEA programme is about building bridges between disconnected data sources and perspectives, you’ll use this session to bridge the gap between traditional data management and the emerging world of autonomous agents, through practical, hands‑on exploration.
