This Best Practices benchmark report examines how leading biopharmaceutical companies are developing integrated systems, which enable them to effectively map the KOL landscape and provide proactive services to their most influential thought leaders.

This report also explores how top companies develop and implement opt-in “standing order” systems in which thought leaders signal their desire and preferences for receiving timely scientific information on an ongoing basis.

Study Snapshot

Best Practices, LLC engaged 28 field medical leaders from 23 biopharmaceutical companies across global business units through a benchmarking survey. More than 70% of the participants hold leadership positions at the Director, Vice President and Head level.

Key topics covered in this report include:

  • Forging deep thought leader relationships
  • Thought leader segmentation
  • Proactive vs reactive MSL interactions
  • Frequency of MSL interactions
  • Compliance management
  • Managing opt-in “standing order” systems
  • Lessons learned


Key Findings

Select key insights uncovered from this report are noted below. Detailed findings are available in the full report.

  • Proactivity: Most biopharma aspire to proactive services to retain TLs evolving along a 7-factor service continuum:

    1. Segment key thought leaders for proactive service
    2. Service model leans to or away from proactive service
    3. Different types of scientific information are shared more or less proactively by design
    4. Standing-order is formal or informal
    5. Duration of standing order ranges from permanent to quarterly
    6. Technology enables easier opt-in presentation on iPads, etc.
    7. Understanding thought leader needs informs what to share proactively

  • Opt-in Standing Order (SO): Nearly 1/3 of companies deploy formal standing orders and up to 79% use informal systems.
