Thought Leader Network

Identify and Engage

Thought leaders are vital to an effective product market strategy, but identifying and engaging those experts can be a difficult process that yields inadequate results. Today's healthcare providers need to look beyond traditional key opinion leaders and turn to network science to support effective thought leader targeting for the most successful launch and commercialization outcomes.
