Launching January 1, 2026

The Channel OS™ Framework

A living standard for partner motions, metrics, and enablement. The full framework unlocks at launch—here's how it's structured.

Three core layers

Each layer feeds the next so partner teams can move from understanding to execution quickly.

Sense

Map your ecosystem, assess partner readiness, and surface actionable insights for leadership.

Decide

Define plays, assign ownership, and stack-rank opportunities using shared data and templates.

Execute

Activate partners with enablement kits, co-selling workflows, and measurable success criteria.

Improve

Review signal dashboards and retros to sharpen the standard every quarter.

Maturity model

Templates & tooling
