Join the waitlistSmarterReward™ Diagnostic
SmarterReward™ is a diagnostic that examines the three main areas of partner reward that drive – or prevent – partners from collaborating effectively:
1. Imperatives (Strategic foundations)
2. Incentives (Results and metrics design)
3. Integrity (Reward system alignment)
A well-structured reward system can be a significant enabler of partner collaboration. Yet in most firms, partner reward is a major barrier, often leaving millions of dollars in revenue upside on the table.
The radar chart shows an example of results produced by our diagnostic across all 10 dimensions.
