Channel Evolution – Leadership in the Era Of AI, Cloud & XaaS

The channel landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud, and Everything-as-a-Service (XaaS). As technology buyers increasingly prioritise agility, scalability, and outcome-based delivery, partners must adapt their leadership models and go-to-market strategies to thrive in this evolving ecosystem.

From Revenue to Relevance: Creating Value Beyond Deals

Technology buying patterns are shifting, and the traditional sales cycle is becoming increasingly outcome-focused. In response, partners must evolve from transactional vendors to strategic advisors. In today’s digital economy, relevance is defined not just by revenue but by long-term impact, customer experience, and contributions to the broader ecosystem.
