Enable partners with business messaging, value propositions, and executive-level positioning ;
Challenge, reorient, or disengage partners that do not deliver measurable results ;
Assess the current partner program in practice by identifying what works, what doesn't, and propose concrete improvements to program structure, incentives, and enablement.
