Key players have created a comprehensive and complete methodology for identifying, profiling, updating, tracking, and measuring the impact of key opinion leaders (KOLs), allowing clients to engage them more effectively on a continual basis. They accomplish this using a patented three-step process of positional analysis, bibliometric analysis, and sociometric analysis to identify prominent KOLs in a certain therapeutic field.

They find the most relevant entities for each geographic location and therapeutic area specified by the customer as part of the positioning analysis.

This is expected to expand the global key opinion leader management market size.

Since their inception, these significant market participants have benefited from a great leadership team, ranging from our strong, engaged, and independent board members to their experienced and widely spread senior management team.
