With the continued rise in the importance of partner ecosystems, many B2B organizations increasingly rely on partners for a significant portion of revenue, customer reach, and innovation. Business leaders don’t always fully appreciate that cultivating trust among partners is necessary for winning business, sustaining long-term relationships, and building a strong brand.
Hear from Martin Hasenstrauch, global partner marketing at Siemens Digital Industries Software, as he shares how the company innovated by connecting systems and addressing IT resourcing challenges, bringing transparency to the often-opaque world of supplier and partner relationships. Building partner trust requires consistent, long-term investment. By identifying processes, harvesting data, and creatively connecting technology, Siemen’s built a dashboard to share relevant data with partners rebuilding critical partner trust. Learn more about how this initiative was born, how it has adapted over time, and what the results have been, plus tips on how to get started and address challenges along the way.
