Building a 5-Star Channel Program

AMD Commercial Channel

Client Overview

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is an American multinational semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California, that develops computer processors and related technologies for business and consumer markets.

Situation

AMD was experiencing significant growth in the commercial market to match that of their success in the consumer market. And while they had a robust channel program for the Systems Builder channel, they had no formalized program for the Commercial Channel to support VARs, Systems Integrators, and Distributors. The opportunity existed to build to better position the company for success with high value-add partners and to create clearer differentiation between partner types and program entitlements.

Leading with program strategy, Dialog created a complete program for the channel and system for delivering it globally. This included:

  • Segmentation strategy in order to identify the highest value segments with the highest likelihood for conversion
  • Competitive benchmarking to identify AMD advantages and unique program elements to trump existing programs
  • Partner modeling to determine tiers and required qualifications
  • Cascading criteria for partner benefits and branding by partner level and type
  • Created and helped to launch a three-tier partner program with unique branding to reflect the audiences for each
  • Lead and managed all global channel marketing and sales support efforts
  • Value Proposition development, messaging architecture creation, and visual identity highlighting the unique value proposition for VARs
  • Development of program tiers and identifying badging
  • Brand development for the Channel Program

Evolving our Leadership as fast as Technology and the world around us

Digital Strategy and Next-Level Leadership

Client Overview

NIKE, Inc. is a team comprised of the Nike, Jordan and Converse brands driven by a shared purpose to leave an enduring impact.

Situation

Converse had hired a Chief Digital officer and was making investments in AI and e-commerce but they knew that mastering digital transformation would require more. Could Dialog help their teams to think like well-rounded, next-level business innovators with a general management mindset who could orient in a fast-moving world of uncertainty?

Many of the leaders at Converse had grown up in the business and were savvy marketers and creators but not necessarily general managers.

Insights, Action, and Creative Strategy

Dialog worked with the human resources team to create a digital transformation journey for the top 100 execs at Converse . To identify key focus areas, Dialog surveyed the team on readiness for digital transformation compared to a broad dataset of successful transformations.

Dialog developed briefs and breakout sessions on the new tools of Innovation including Voice Recognition, AR,  AI and blockchain as well as the application of technology to retail and fashion. This was combined with sessions on how network orchestrators think and act in shaping their business and through a series of workshops, the leadership team explored the possibilities for integration of new technologies into their business ecosystem. The result was greater confidence in the ability to reinvent and in the shared understanding of the organizational roadmap.
