Every leader knows that one of the keys to managing a successful franchise or product is understanding your competition. Our research group provides competitive landscape analysis from multiple perspectives, including traditional comparative methods, as well as benchmarking and measuring your company’s standing compared to your competitors with key opinion leaders and health care providers.

Gain an in-depth understanding of the patient experience from multiple provider perspectives via surveys and interviews. Identify milestones along the patient journey, seeing which providers are involved in making critical care decisions, as well as those who administer appropriate interventional services.

Our patient flow mapping research will yield key decision maps for the treatment of conditions from three major perspectives: clinical, economic, and humanistic, showing a true picture of how patients, providers, and supporters arrive at better outcomes and quality of life.

Thought Leader Select’s consultants and researchers have more than 100 combined years of industry experience, as drug and device companies have evolved to include commercial and medical teams to engage with experts and providers in an ever-changing institutional landscape.

We build highly customized marketing and medical affairs studies that help our clients get the actionable information they need to better engage and collaborate with key opinion leaders, health care professionals, and institutions around the world.
