Top 20 Global Pharma Chooses Thought Leader Select for Urology Partnership

  • April 18, 2012

April 18, 2012 (CHAPEL HILL, NC) Thought Leader Select, a Chapel Hill, NC-based consulting firm serving the biopharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostics industries, announces the commencement of a urology engagement with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company.

The pharmaceutical company, a global leader in drug development for urological conditions, approached Thought Leader Select for support with its existing portfolio of medicines, as well as new drugs in its development pipeline across the Canadian market.  To meet the combined strategic needs of the company’s existing portfolio as well as its emerging pipeline, Thought Leader Select will deploy its in-house research group for a two-part assessment of the key opinion leader community in urology.

For the first wave of the assessment, the Thought Leader Select research group will validate the skills and experience of the urology specialists that currently comprise the company’s KOL roster.  In addition, Thought Leader Select will identify new physicians appropriate for the panel, bringing the total roster to 40 thought leaders across multiple Canadian provinces.

In the second phase of the assessment, Thought Leader Select’s in-house research group will engage in its exclusive, validated methodology of deep profiling, delivering objective assessments of the skills and experience of key opinion leaders across 14 areas where health care professionals define themselves as thought leaders, including basic and clinical research, scientific journal publishing, speaking at medical meetings, and crafting treatment guidelines.

Throughout the remainder of the engagement, Thought Leader Select’s consulting team will provide strategic guidance, tactical recommendations for strengthening key opinion leader relationships, and a suite of tools to promote collaborative work with KOLs, including engagement plans and an online scenario planning portal.

“We are very appreciative of this opportunity to further expand our experience and gain even more expertise in urology,” stated Kristen Smithwick, Vice President of Business Development, Marketing, and Strategic Planning at Thought Leader Select.  “We admire this company very much, and to be able to partner with them in their strategies for working with key opinion leaders in medicine is something for which we are very grateful.  We believe that our mix of strategic consulting, objective, in-house research, tactical advice, and engagement support is certainly the way forward for this company in its efforts to optimize key opinion leader relationships.”
