  • Thought leadership can make or break a buying decision: 70% say it helps buying groups align on key issues, but 66% wouldn’t work with a new provider whose thought leadership was poor
  • Thought leadership offers the opportunity for collaboration and mutual value creation: 80% believe collaborating with providers on thought leadership improves the relevance and quality of the content, yet 77% would like to be asked to take part in thought leadership more often
