Engagement, phase by phase

Four phases. Twelve weeks. A working partner program at the end.

PHASE 01Week 13

Diagnose

What we do

We assess where you are today in channel & alliance programs — current partners, motions, gaps, and the highest-leverage moves for 2025-2026.

How we deliver

Operator-led, hands-on execution. No frameworks-only decks. Your team and partners stay in the loop with weekly working sessions.

What ships

Concrete artifacts you keep — strategy docs, configured systems, partner-facing materials, and a working motion that compounds.

PHASE 02Week 46
