Partnerships have never been more necessary

Companies across all industries increasingly rely on outside parties for skills and innovation to enable growth and transformation in this time of rapid change. They also require an expanded variety of partner types and specialties to keep up with change and meet evolving needs.

This “partner ecosystem” is a dynamic network of interconnected organizations that—when working in harmony—collaborate for mutual benefit and create more value than the individual pieces alone. For partner ecosystems to work as future value generators, companies are thinking about intentionally designing their ecosystems, rather than relying on a collection of accidental partnerships.

To better understand where companies are in crafting and managing their partner ecosystems, KPMG LLP surveyed more than 250 executives at large organizations. Here’s what we found:
