The Channel's Leadership is Bifurcating

It has been much discussed that traditional channels leadership is ageing whilst as the same time we have many channel start-ups being led by young entrepreneurial leaders. I believe in combination with many of the disruptive technologies we are at an Inflexion point which needs action now!

Start-up Channels shareholders desire for high risk / rewards is its main reason for early market success

The traditional Channel’s shareholder aversion to risk seems to be its biggest hurdle to future success

Vendors need to take a more active role

  1. Proactively drive Channel succession planning
  2. Upskilling Channel leadership
  3. Provide investment funding with the expectation of high risk and high potential reward which is required for business transformation
