Partnering Maturity Model

In the Partnering Maturity Model there are four stages and I have named them Basic, Reactive, Proactive and Dynamic. Getting to’ Dynamic’ in all areas is extremely hard but everyone should be able to move the dial and reach ‘Proactive’ in most areas. You can also measure the maturity of your fellow partners and see if they are enough ‘partner friendly’ for you to consider working with them.

Quick Tip!  Event Best Practice:
Sweden invites all members to lunch at Microsoft and hear the story about Office 2010. That’s not unusual – but what is special is that this time, everyone is to bring at least one customer with them. This is a happening that will take place in four cities in Sweden on the same day – Sept 30. 2010.
