You may wish to quickly identify a group of KOLs to approach for a variety of purposes (speaker engagements etc). Alternatively, you may need a sophisticated view of your TA and CEM can provide analyses which show detailed views of the KOL networks. In either situation CEM has a solution that will match your needs:

Solution	Relevance	Timescale	Output	Application
Entry Level	Operational	2-3 days	Validated names and addresses	Speaker bureaus, Clinical Trialists
KOLs with Impact	Operational	7-10 days	Validated names and addresses of 'Impactful' KOLs	Speaker bureaus, Clinical Trialists, Advisory Panels, PIs, Steering Committees
KOL Collaboration Mapping	Strategic	4-6 weeks	Validated names and addresses of KOLs with a map and report. Based on KOL collaborations	Speaker bureaus, Clinical Trialists, Advisory Panels, PIs, Steering Committees, Senior advisors, Pivotal KOLs who 'link' with other KOLs

The services therefore range from a very quick view (2-3 days) of the KOLs in a therapy area to the sophisticated mapping of the KOLs' interests using social network analysis (specifically the author collaborations). The latter are significantly quicker than traditional cascade and snowballing methodologies which can often take months.

Furthermore, CEM can show the pivotal KOLs in a therapy area based on the collaboration of the most 'impactful' KOLs.
