Tech Channel Video Cast: Channel Experience versus Channel Stagnation

Written by Amanda Hawkins | April 7, 2017 at 4:07 PM

This week, hosts Charlene O'Hanlon, channel industry editor & writer, and Diane Krakora, CEO of PartnerPath, talk about some of the pros and cons of having leaders with channel experience continue to manage the leading partner programs.

It would seem to be a good thing to have experienced channel chiefs remain in charge, but is there a chance it inhibits innovation? Diane was surprised to hear from a channel partner that a lack of change in leadership may be a bad thing. Charlene takes up the argument and talks about whether we can push partners to innovate and change if we aren't necessarily doing that in the vendor world. See both sides of the equation and understand why both Diane and Charlene thinks it's part of a larger culture shift. Then tell us what you think and leave a comment below.
