EDG: Mastering the Rush: Exploring Practical Tools for Steering Complex Documents (eg, Protocols) with Large Cross-Functional Study Teams Under Tight Timelines

Description

This Expert Discussion Group invites medical writers who have led 3 or more clinical study protocols (CSPs) to an open, solution-focused conversation that starts with a clear purpose: to explore practical ways to overcome the real-world challenges of steering complex documents under expedited timelines and in collaboration with large, cross-functional study teams. Participants will be invited to share the challenges they face in coordinating large, cross functional teams—managing expectations, maintaining alignment, navigating differing priorities, and keeping momentum under pressure—while also discussing practical strategies and potential solutions drawn from their own experience. Ahead of the session, participants will be given the opportunity to provide brief details of a recent relevant challenge, and the pros and cons of the solution they applied. The session will foster an inclusive, welcoming environment where all voices are valued, and where collective problem solving, honest reflection, and peer to peer learning are at the core of the conversation.
