Hey Evolve,
Andre Gilmore here with Arlin Sorensen giving you a weekly update as Brad Schow is in the Great state of Minnesota visiting family.
As Brad mentioned last week, we’re closing out the year by bringing you some unique interactions with Solution Partners that we hope will bring some value to both you and your key vendors in the channel. Specifically, we have two engagements coming up: C-Level Thought Leadership Interviews and Solution Partner Focus Groups. (For more insight, click the video above to hear Arlin and Andre dig deeper into these two engagements)
C-Level Thought Leadership Interviews
During these interviews, we will be having candid conversations with our Solution Partner C-Level leaders about a number of challenges that have arisen in the current environment due to the pandemic. These topics will include how to effectively manage remote employees, how to secure this new remote workforce and what opportunities for innovation should we be focused on in this new landscape. Many of our Solution Partners have been dealing with this new landscape on the Enterprise level for years, so we want to pull back the curtain during these conversations and tap their experience to give you guys some insight on how to navigate the challenges ahead.
With that in mind, we want you to help us guide the conversation. In order to do that we will be asking the community to submit some questions in the form of a survey that we will weave into the interviews. More on that to come as we start scheduling these interviews, but for now, we just wanted to make you aware of what’s on the horizon.
Solution Partner Focus Groups
The focus groups will involve a smaller subset of partners that we’ll invite based on solution partner invite. The goal of these focus groups is to encourage a win-win scenario that is a benefit for both our Solution Partners and you as Evolve members. From a member perspective you get in on the ground floor of what’s coming down the road with many of our Solution Partners, as well as, have an opportunity to shape the conversation and direction our Solution Partners focus on. From the Solution Partner standpoint, they get the input from you as members as to what is working or not working with their products/services, as well as, what pain-points Evolve members continue to grapple with in the industry as a whole.
In short, we are really excited to bring these two engagements to you guys in the coming months. We really hope you all will participate and get some value from the tremendous knowledge that exist in our Solution Partner community. For now, stay tuned for more information on both the surveys mentioned above along with other opportunities of how you may participate.
To those of you in America, stay safe and have a great Thanksgiving holiday and for all of you in APAC, EMEA and the rest of North America, thank you for being a part of Evolve!
-Andre
