Objective
Drive ecosystem strategy with data by:
- Monitoring overall ecosystem health
- Identifying trends and patterns
- Benchmarking partner performance
- Analyzing competitive dynamics
- Recommending strategic actions
Ecosystem Health Dimensions
| Dimension | Weight | Components |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 30% | Sourced, influenced, growth rate |
| Engagement | 25% | Active partners, deal flow, enablement |
| Coverage | 20% | Market coverage, tech stack, verticals |
| Quality | 15% | Win rates, customer satisfaction, retention |
| Growth | 10% | New partners, tier progression, expansion |
Execution Flow
Step 1: Gather Ecosystem Metrics
analytics.get_ecosystem_metrics({
period: context.period,
metrics: [
"total_partners",
"active_partners",
"partner_sourced_revenue",
"partner_influenced_revenue",
"partner_pipeline",
"deal_registrations",
"avg_partner_revenue",
"partner_win_rate",
"ecosystem_coverage"
],
groupBy: ["tier", "type", "region"]
})
Step 2: Get Partner Portfolio
partner.get_all({
includePerformance: true,
includeActivity: true,
period: context.period
})
Step 3: Analyze Trends
analytics.get_trends({
metrics: [
"partner_revenue",
"partner_count",
"deal_registration_volume",
"integration_adoption",
"partner_engagement_score"
],
period: "12m",
granularity: "month",
includeForecasts: true
})
Step 4: Calculate Ecosystem Health Score
function calculateEcosystemHealth(metrics, trends) {
const scores = {};
// Revenue health (30%)
scores.revenue = {
weight: 0.30,
score: calculateRevenueScore(metrics),
components: {
sourcedRevenue: metrics.partnerSourcedRevenue,
influencedRevenue: metrics.partnerInfluencedRevenue,
growthRate: trends.revenueGrowth,
revenuePerPartner: metrics.avgPartnerRevenue
}
};
// Engagement health (25%)
scores.engagement = {
weight: 0.25,
score: calculateEngagementScore(metrics),
components: {
activeRate: metrics.activePartners / metrics.totalPartners,
dealFlow: metrics.dealRegistrations,
enablementCompletion: metrics.avgEnablementScore,
portalActivity: metrics.avgLoginFrequency
}
};
// Coverage health (20%)
scores.coverage = {
weight: 0.20,
score: calculateCoverageScore(metrics),
components: {
marketCoverage: metrics.marketCoveragePercent,
techStackCoverage: metrics.techIntegrations,
verticalCoverage: metrics.verticalsServed,
geoCoverage: metrics.regionsActive
}
};
// Quality health (15%)
scores.quality = {
weight: 0.15,
score: calculateQualityScore(metrics),
components: {
partnerWinRate: metrics.partnerWinRate,
customerSatisfaction: metrics.partnerCsat,
dealQuality: metrics.avgDealSize,
retention: metrics.partnerRetention
}
};
// Growth health (10%)
scores.growth = {
weight: 0.10,
score: calculateGrowthScore(metrics, trends),
components: {
newPartners: metrics.newPartnersThisPeriod,
tierProgression: metrics.partnersPromoted,
pipelineGrowth: trends.pipelineGrowth,
expansionRate: metrics.existingPartnerGrowth
}
};
// Calculate weighted total
const totalScore = Object.values(scores).reduce(
(sum, s) => sum + (s.score * s.weight), 0
);
return {
overallScore: Math.round(totalScore),
dimensions: scores,
status: totalScore >= 85 ? 'healthy' :
totalScore >= 70 ? 'stable' : 'needs_attention'
};
}
Step 5: Identify Patterns and Insights
ai.analyze_patterns({
data: {
partnerPerformance: partnerData,
trends: trendData,
benchmarks: industryBenchmarks
},
analysisTypes: [
"top_performer_characteristics",
"churn_risk_indicators",
"growth_opportunities",
"underperforming_segments",
"market_gaps"
]
})
Step 6: Competitive Analysis
function analyzeCompetitivePosition(ecosystem, competitors) {
return {
partnerOverlap: calculatePartnerOverlap(ecosystem, competitors),
marketShareBySegment: compareMarketShare(ecosystem, competitors),
strengthsVsCompetitors: identifyStrengths(ecosystem, competitors),
vulnerabilities: identifyVulnerabilities(ecosystem, competitors),
opportunities: identifyOpportunities(ecosystem, competitors)
};
}
Step 7: Generate Strategic Recommendations
function generateRecommendations(health, patterns, competitive) {
const recommendations = [];
// Revenue-based recommendations
if (health.dimensions.revenue.score < 70) {
recommendations.push({
priority: 'high',
category: 'revenue',
recommendation: 'Increase partner attach rate through sales enablement',
expectedImpact: '+15% partner-sourced revenue',
actions: ['Launch spiff program', 'Add partner section to sales playbook']
});
}
// Engagement-based recommendations
if (health.dimensions.engagement.components.activeRate < 0.6) {
recommendations.push({
priority: 'high',
category: 'engagement',
recommendation: 'Re-engage dormant partners',
expectedImpact: '+20% active partner rate',
actions: ['Dormant partner campaign', 'Simplified deal registration']
});
}
// Coverage-based recommendations
if (patterns.marketGaps.length > 0) {
recommendations.push({
priority: 'medium',
category: 'coverage',
recommendation: `Fill gap in ${patterns.marketGaps[0].segment}`,
expectedImpact: `Access to ${patterns.marketGaps[0].potentialRevenue} market`,
actions: ['Target 3 partners in segment', 'Build vertical-specific content']
});
}
// Competitive recommendations
if (competitive.vulnerabilities.length > 0) {
recommendations.push({
priority: 'high',
category: 'competitive',
recommendation: `Address vulnerability: ${competitive.vulnerabilities[0]}`,
expectedImpact: 'Reduce competitive losses by 10%',
actions: competitive.vulnerabilities[0].mitigationActions
});
}
return recommendations.sort((a, b) =>
priorityOrder[a.priority] - priorityOrder[b.priority]
);
}
Step 8: Create Report
analytics.create_report({
type: context.reportType,
period: context.period,
data: {
healthScore: ecosystemHealth,
metrics: keyMetrics,
trends: trendAnalysis,
insights: patterns,
competitive: competitiveAnalysis,
recommendations: recommendations
},
format: "executive_dashboard"
})
