Thursday, July 2: Specialization is Awesome Until it Isn’t: Compliance and Research Operations Can Coordinate
Our research roles in clinical research have become very specialized and it is tempting to isolate ourselves into silos where we don’t see how each one can impact one another, usually because of workload or necessity. This session will look at how clinical research team members from pre-award administrators, clinical research coordinators, research staff managers, to post-award administrators, and everywhere in between should be engaging with each other to ensure that compliance issues are addressed and research participants are protected so that be best outcomes for research are possible.

Monday, July 6: The Power of a Visual Management Board in Research Administration
A Lean Management System embodies a culture of continuously improving customer value and eliminating waste in order to improve efficiency and quality for a customer base. This webinar provides a brief introduction to Lean and a Lean Management System, with a more in-depth focus on visual management boards as a mechanism to improve performance and productivity, and provide systematic accountability. Visual Management Boards can reduce response times and provide staff with the information to identify waste - empowering staff to begin solving problems and improving processes on their own.

Tuesday, July 7: Best Practices for Effective Leadership
The most effective leaders are professional students. They are endlessly seeking understanding of causes and effects, and how operations can be optimized and help shape their organization and maximize the best their staff has to offer. Leadership can be learned and practiced just like any other business skill set. The panel discussion focuses on best practices for management and leadership, by looking at what works and does not work well for them as leaders within their respective organizations. We will discuss topics such as: Leadership style, How management style impacts teamwork, Do you have a team or players on the team, Differences between Management and Leadership.
