Many statisticians in consulting roles would like to enhance their impact on the organizations they consult with. While statisticians' contributions may be very significant, all too often the statistician is viewed as playing a supporting, rather than leading role, in project success. Similarly, the statistician is often viewed as someone passively giving advice, or performing narrow technical tasks predetermined by others, rather than proactively making things happen and delivering results. The purpose of this workshop is to enhance the effectiveness of statisticians in business, industry, and pharmaceuticals, particularly as it relates to exhibiting leadership. The goal is to help statisticians transition from being viewed as passive consultants to being viewed as proactive leaders within their organizations. In preparation for this workshop, several senior business leaders, CEOs, and other executives were interviewed to obtain their insights into how statisticians could have more impact. In addition, recent statistics graduates were polled to obtain their perspectives on their current roles, and what skills they feel are necessary to succeed. These insights will be shared and discussed at the workshop. The attendees will participate in breakouts to determine specific changes needed, and how to go about making them happen.
