RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC--(Marketwire - September 30, 2010) - Cutting Edge Information (CEI) dedicated much of the past year to the development of new tools and assessment services to serve medical science liaisons (MSLs), their team leaders and medical affairs executives. Jason Richardson, president of CEI, sought to recognize the increasingly complex role of the MSL in Life Science.
"As MSLs' strategic role becomes more multifaceted, we know that the ability to measure and communicate MSLs' value has never been more important," said Richardson. "That's why we've made a companywide goal to create new services to help our clients build strategies for long-term success and solid ROI."
SYNDICATED BENCHMARKING REPORTS
CEI's two third-quarter MSL reports show current best practices and next practices for 2011 and beyond that support corporate goal-setting, strategic decision-making, performance measurement and professional development.
"The New MSL Profile: Internal Thought Leader, External Voice and Clinical Catalyst" contains key MSL activities, performance metrics, program goals and KOL communication best practices. CEI developed the report with 50 Life Sciences companies' input and enables leaders to prioritize MSL objectives and bolster team performance.
