Revenue Opportunities via Partnerships: Myth or Reality?

Ask a CEO if he/she is getting revenue from partnerships and you are bound to get a myriad of answers. Partnerships mean different things to different companies, with some companies shunning any revenue but direct while others garnering most of their revenue from partners.

Companies are often un-aware of the limitations of their own efforts at achieving revenue and or market share growth. What are the signals and contexts that occur within companies that would portend the serious study of partnerships and strategic alliances as integral parts of both the strategic direction of the company but also the operational direction of the company?   What KPI’s or effective ratios might a CEO, COO or CFO want to keep an eye on to see where a partnership with another company makes sense sorting out?
