Gerson Lehrman Group Council Member Programs

Gerson Lehrman Group works hard to provide its Council Members with the best consulting experience possible, and its clients with the best answers to their research questions.

With over 120,000 specialized Council Members, GLG continues to:

Enable Council Members to establish themselves as topic experts
Identify the very best Council Members in each specialty based on their previous GLG interactions
Invite Council Members to projects in which they can excel
Arrange consulting opportunities through a rules-based platform to enable conflict checks and respect for third party agreements
Identify Council Members qualified for more complex and longer term work with GLG clients

The new innovative GLG CouncilRank^TM helps to ensure these goals are accomplished.

GLG CouncilRank is a proprietary rating system that ranks Council Members based on the quality of their interactions with GLG clients. GLG CouncilRank rewards GLG's most valuable and responsive Council Members with formal recognition and special opportunities.

GLG CouncilRank is currently used to determine GLG Council Member Program Eligibility:

GLG Leaders — Top 5% of Council Members
GLG Scholars — Top 20% of Council Members

GLG CouncilRank is an unbiased system driven by Council Member activity. GLG CouncilRank inputs are based on qualitative and quantitative measures such as the quality of Council Member and client interactions, the demand those interactions create, referrals to the GLG network and many others.

Council Members can proactively improve their GLG CouncilRank:

By updating their professional profile with pertinent information
By taking advantage of and being responsive to GLG opportunities for which they are qualified
By staying up to date on key issues in their field, providing the best information they can and being as helpful as possible to GLG clients
By following the Terms and Conditions of Council Membership
