Ridge Consulting is today releasing a case study on its workshop for rapid strategy development in the technology sector. The Strategy Development Case Study showcases the company's workshop with IBM and their channel partner, SpecialistsGrid.
The workshop on which the case study is based is designed for small, rapidly growing technology companies worldwide. Many of these companies have a solid technology strategy in place, but little to no long-term business strategy to guide the company over the long-term. This also hampers their ability to develop successful marketing and sales strategies to drive sustainable growth.
The case study illustrates how a technology vendor like IBM can support the success of their channel resellers as part of their own channel strategy. IT channel partners and VAR's often struggle with technology marketing particularly because they do not have a strong business strategy in place. Once this is put in place the reseller then has a solid framework on which to build their channel marketing strategy and IT lead generation tactics.
Melissa Hadley, Global Channel Strategy and Development Manager, IBM Cloud says,
“The IBM Stars initiative is absolutely committed to the successful development of our hybrid cloud partners. This investment in the strategy development for SpecialistsGrid demonstrates our dedication to our Partners long-term success. We now look forward to SpecialistsGrid achieving their full potential, and to their successful long-term partnership with IBM”.
According to Ales Smetana, CEO, SpecialistsGrid: “I was very surprised at how much we were able to achieve in a single day. The workshop leader kept us highly focused as we worked through the methodology. By the end of the day not only had we gained serious insights into our direction and gaps, we also had a clear and comprehensive basis for our strategy. I highly recommend this workshop to any technology Reseller that needs to find their focus.”
