Thought Leadership Index™
Measure Your Thought Leadership Position.
Being seen by your audience as a go-to authority expands your reach, generates demand for your services and deepens your existing relationships.
The Thought Leadership Index™ is the first tool of its kind to effectively and critically calculate the drivers of thought leadership and an organization’s thought leadership position compared to its competitors. The index tracks five crucial datasets that analyze a customized range of 50–100 metrics, weighted according to your goal.
This proprietary index was developed in consultation with Northwestern University’s Medill Spiegel Research Center to validate the methodology and process for measuring thought leadership.
