Understanding Thought Leaders and the impact these individuals have on HCP networks is foundational to planning for launch excellence. Thought Leaders exist at national, regional, and local levels, playing different roles in advancing product adoption through their network of healthcare provider (HCP) relationships. HCPs rely on trusted Thought Leaders for new learning and to support their decisions to try new therapies. Understanding which Thought Leaders are creating awareness and ultimately influencing adoption within their HCP networks will help you target the most effective messaging and engagements to the most impactful HCPs at the right time.
