Over the past decade, a digital transformation has sparked an organizational evolution causing companies to shift to virtual enterprises. While the shift to virtual quickly escalated with no sector immune to the changes, there has been one source of sustainable, successful growth: ecosystems.

Open platforms and ecosystems offer new avenues for growth, efficiency and innovation. Moreover, companies focus on fewer, deeper ecosystem combinations to build their growth agenda.

In this episode, we talk with Meredith Stowell, Vice President, Ecosystem at IBM. According to Meredith, successful ecosystems are broad, but they also rely on the depth of the various relationships within the ecosystem. When deep connections are fostered, both parties can meet all growth opportunities and capabilities. Further, these ecosystems leverage the flexibility of open technologies like hybrid cloud to accelerate more quickly and efficiently than before within specific industry contexts.

Join us as we discuss:
  • What virtualization has done for ecosystems and vice versa
  • How to maximize potential by balancing local and global partnerships, then leveraging your partners, their partners, your customers and their partners
  • The secret to success: a go-to-market and routes-to-market coordination from a co-sell perspective
