As we kick off this podcast’s fifth anniversary and leap into 2022, I’m thankful to all of the fantastic thought and business leaders who come to this podcast to share principles, success strategies, and best practices that help technology organizations thrive during this age of change and transformation. For this three-part series, I am excited to be joined by “Industry Thought Leaders” on “How to Achieve Your Greatest Results in 2022.” Part Two of the series features my friend and neighbor in South Florida, Jay Mc Bain –Principal Analyst – Channels, Partnerships & Ecosystems at Forrester. Jay joins Ultimate Guide to Partnering to share how to achieve your greatest results in 2022, with a view toward Channels and Ecosystems.

It is great to welcome back Jay McBain for a record-setting fourth interview on Ultimate Guide to Partnering®.

Why Listen?

We have seen rapid and sustained transformation for two years. Technology is transforming every company and industry, and we will never go back. Jay McBain has coined this the “Decade of the Ecosystem”. We will continue to see significant shifts in how we market, procure and deploy the technology. The channel is also evolving, and technology tools to support this journey will grow, expand, and mature. We are in the early innings of a very exciting game!

WARNING – This episode is exclusively for leaders who care about partner ecosystems, the evolution of selling and the systems driving this next phase of economic growth, and how this “Decade of the Ecosystem” looks to take shape. You will hear Jay’s view on how organizations need to think and move differently during this rapidly changing digital economy.

It’s always great to have Jay come to visit this platform. I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I enjoyed welcoming back Jay McBain as a guest on Ultimate Guide to Partnering®.
