Understanding the characteristics of the most successful Partners in a Matrixed Ecosystem

The vendor’s Partner team were targeted with high growth objectives, for which they understood that they would need to recruit more Partners to fulfil their revenue objectives. With such a regionally-diverse Partner Business Management team, and very diverse Partners, they were challenged to understand how to prioritise recruitment – and indeed what a successfully engaged Partner looked like.

Use Case

Partner Ecosystem
