Mastering Partner Management: Reduce Risk, Maximize Value | LinkedIn Live

As outsourcing increases in response to economic pressure, geopolitical shifts, and talent challenges, many enterprises are left struggling to manage what remains in-house. With governance responsibility shifting from delivery to oversight, retained teams often lack the resources needed to deliver results.

In this LinkedIn Live session, Everest Group will explore how enterprises can mature their post-outsourcing partner management models to reduce delivery risk, avoid value leakage, and ensure strategic alignment, especially as business expectations rise and tolerance for failure declines.

We’ll examine how leading organizations are rethinking their retained teams, realigning governance frameworks, and deploying performance levers to move beyond “contract policing” and toward true value stewardship. Attendees will walk away with actionable frameworks to assess partner management maturity, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure outsourcing investments deliver on promised outcomes.

During this engaging LinkedIn Live, we’ll discuss:

• Ways to redesign the retained organization to effectively manage partners post-outsourcing without overburdening internal resources
• What governance models, KPIs, and engagement practices are essential for driving value and accountability in strategic vendor relationships
• How leading enterprises can avoid risk and value erosion in outsourced relationships – especially in complex, multi-vendor or global delivery environments
