The inaugural UK Partner Week Summit (9th July, Convene, London) is set to elevate and enable best practice across key MSP/ICT reseller business functions – supported by a team focused framework.
The just-announced UK Partner Week Summit agenda has been tailored to provide a springboard for the development of best practice in channel businesses across a framework of Tracks focused on Sales, Marketing, Leadership and Technology. “The first UK Partner Week Summit puts a spotlight on the trends, challenges and opportunities reshaping each of our four Track categories, and provides guidance to help board leaders, department heads and their team members to respond effectively, raise the best practice bar and drive growth,” stated Michael O’Brien, Managing Director, BPL Business Media (organiser of the event).
O’Brien also noted that developing a unified strategic approach to raising the operational bar while doubling down on people development is a challenge for business leaders. “The Summit’s four interconnected Tracks have been designed to help channel companies address this issue and unlock more value for themselves, their teams and their customers,” he added.
Key topics include how to shift the sales conversation to Enhanced Consultancy, boosting the impact of marketing teams, identifying future leaders, nurturing the next generation of talent, empowering women to realise their full potential, and turning tech experts into growth enablers (visit https://partnerweek.uk/agenda for the full agenda).
Team collaboration
Cobalt Managing Director Ian Dunstan (and UK Partner Week Summit Ambassador), commented: “I’ll be bringing some of my team to meet business leaders, sales, marketing and tech specialists to spark innovation and growth. UK Partner Week and the Partner Summit is all about celebrating collaboration and the amazing things we can achieve together. Getting your team on board and all paddling the same canoe is key to everyone achieving a common goal.”
Confirmed speakers at the Summit include Jason Bevan, the former Head of Creative Development & Vice President of Marketing EMEA for Warner Bros, and Karen Blackett OBE who was UK President of global advertising company WPP and previously Chairwoman of MediaCom UK, now part of GroupM. She has also been recognised as one the UK’s most influential business leaders by Debrett’s and The Telegraph.
“The Summit’s objectives, content tracks, insight sessions, interactive breakouts and guest speakers have been brought together to help channel businesses build a resilient and growth focused future in a progressive team, and fun, collaborative environment,” added O’Brien.
