The need for partnerships in a polarised world

Stellar Partnerships

I once visited the World War One battlefields in France. It was moving to see the fields of crosses that stretched far into the distance. More surprising was a visit to the trenches. The German trenches were so close to the British ones that a decent cricketer could easily hit the stumps on the other side.

How to Do a Partner Program Audit

Chaneltivity

The best way to start the new year off on the right foot? An audit of your partner program.

Change: Understanding the Alliance Management Process

Peter Simoons

I was thinking of a theme for 2023 and somehow the word “change” kept coming back to mind. Now, this is not so strange as we’ve all experienced a lot of change during the past few years.

Break 3 habits for better partnerships

Stellar Partnerships

During the summer holidays our habits change. We get used to sleeping in, moving at a slower pace in the heat, long lunches and ice cream in the sun.

Looking Back to Improve the Future

Peter Simoons

The beginning of the New Year is always a good moment to reflect, by looking back and learning lessons from the past to bring them forward into the upcoming year.
