The Importance of Clarity in Creating an Ecosystem Strategy

In the second part of our 2-episode podcast, Avanish Sahai, Board Member, Investor, Mentor for B2B SaaS/Cloud Computing and Non-profits, talks to Pari Natarajan about the challenges that companies face when trying to form meaningful partnerships. While the first episode dived into the evolution of partnerships across the business ecosystem, and how the pandemic has indelibly changed the DNA of the alliances’ ecosystem, this episode explores the fundamentals of partnerships and how to form value-generating partnerships. Right from building investments in technology, they talk about how partnering strategies help people, and form internal alignment across different functions. 
Avanish suggests that the next generation of ecosystem leaders need to be business leaders who know how to make partnerships successful and build a business case for it. Additionally, they need to understand how to measure success and define metrics that the rest of the organization can understand and see the impact of. This rich conversation is filled with case studies, advice, and observations from a veteran who has watched the industry evolve for over a decade. Tune in to this episode to know more.
