Course overview

Project management is not standing still, stay ahead in project management by learning the latest innovative approaches and evolving strategies in clinical research.

In the ever-evolving field of clinical research, effective project management is crucial to navigating complex, highly regulated environments. Advanced Project Management in Clinical Research is designed to equip you with innovative strategies and techniques to enhance your approach to managing clinical research projects. This course delves into both established and cutting-edge concepts such as System Thinking, the Theory of Constraints, and Agile Project Management, along with the latest in Relational Risk and Complexity management.

System Thinking encourages a holistic view of projects, aiding in the identification of stakeholders and the assessment of potential threats and opportunities. You will learn how to evaluate the complexity of your projects and explore methods to mitigate its impacts effectively.

Agile Project Management, popular in various industries, poses unique challenges in regulated environments. This course will demonstrate how to incorporate agility into your clinical research projects without compromising regulatory compliance.

raditional Risk Management techniques are well-known, but this course goes further by introducing complementary methods like the Theory of Constraints and Relational Risk. Understanding that projects are both technical and social systems, the course emphasizes the importance of managing relational risk, focusing on the high levels of uncertainty in social interactions. The CURED Framework will be discussed as a tool for addressing these uncertainties.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped with key techniques and methodologies to apply throughout your clinical research projects, ensuring successful delivery and improved project outcomes.
