How Do You Build Collaborative Partnership Strategies Linked to a Digital Thread GTM Strategy?

The pandemic has redefined disruption. Survive and thrive is linked to an organization's ability to change at an accelerated pace. To quickly move, adapt, and seize opportunities while simultaneously looking ahead for new disruptions.

Organizations have shifted their mindset from process management to delivering quantifiable outcomes and establishing more agile, innovative, and empathetic operating models. All to provide best in class customer experience and to future proof their businesses.

Today's market not only requires that we understand how our customers are responding to digital disruption but how we respond to those same forces, forcing us to think differently and partner differently so we can truly address real world challenges.

This session reinforces the need for curating a robust partner ecosystem linked to a Digital Thread GTM Strategy that:

Drives new cross-functional ecosystems connecting people, products, and processes internally and externally holistically across the value chain.
Activates a flywheel effect across data-driven improvements in engineering quality, manufacturing efficiency, and product and service innovation.
Unlocks new value creation for enhancing customer relationships and experiences.
