Effective management of a clinical trial requires having real time access to information that provides useful insights into trial progress and that lends itself to collaborative decision making. Data visualizations using data from multiple source systems employed during the conduct of a clinical trial have become an essential tool in the recent past as support for collaborative decision making by project teams. Having the ability to access, analyze, read, work with, and present data to support an argument are important skills that ensure data visualizations fulfill their purpose in clinical trial management. There is an expectation that members of the clinical trial team either possess or develop the data literacy skill sets necessary to collaborate on the successful execution of a clinical drug development trial. Here we describe the development of a Data Learning Series program targeted to increase the data literacy skills within a Contract Research Organization in support of the digital evolution of the drug development industry.
