Partner Attribution Is Broken — Here’s Why B2B Executives Must Lead The Fix
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


In today’s B2B landscape, partner ecosystems are a strategic priority for driving growth, maintaining competitive advantage, and enabling innovation. Yet most B2B organizations still rely on outdated attribution models that obscure partner value, misguide investment, and impede future growth. My latest report, Plotting The Path For Partner Attribution, delivers a clear message to executive leaders: Attribution is broken in most B2B organizations, and it’s time to rethink how partner impact is measured.

The Partner Attribution Problem Creates A Major Executive Blind Spot

Legacy attribution models — especially those focused solely on sourced revenue — fail to capture the full spectrum of partner impact on the business. These models either oversimplify and/or completely ignore the broader partner contribution to the organization’s success. This leaves executives blind to the broader value and influence that partners have across the buyer’s journey and their strategic impact on growth and success. These blind spots in measurement undervalue strategic partnerships across the ecosystem, especially for nontransacting partners such as strategic alliances, technical partners, system integrators, and influencers.

Successful Partner Ecosystem Strategy Depends On Precise Measurement

As the report emphasizes, the future of partner ecosystem success hinges on our ability to measure fully what truly matters. Without accurate attribution, partner ecosystem strategies risk falling short. Organizations must evolve from:

A distorted to an accurate vision of what really drives direct and indirect revenue and success.
An incomplete to a holistic view of partner impact on business success.
An underleveraged to a fully leveraged partner ecosystem.
Poor to positive partner experience that builds loyalty and trust.
Stalled or stagnant offerings to those driven by partner innovation and growth.
Misdirected future decisions and investments to aligned investments for future growth and innovation.

The Partner Attribution Path Forward Emphasizes Precision Over Tradition

B2B suppliers should follow a four-step journey to achieve more precise, holistic partner attribution:

Discover your organization’s partner ecosystem strategy, goals, and objectives.
Define your various partner classifications (partner types/business models).
Assign key values for each unique partner classification.
Align metrics for partner values to quantify partner ecosystem attribution.

What To Do Next

Partner attribution is no longer a back-office concern — it’s a leadership mandate. CEOs, chief revenue/sales officers, CMOs, and partner ecosystem leaders must be armed with models that reflect reality, recognize and reward true impact, and fuel strategic growth. Those who embrace comprehensive partner contribution measurement will gain clearer insights, stronger partnerships, and a competitive edge in an increasingly interconnected market.

To explore this leadership imperative in more detail, Forrester clients can read the full report and reach out to schedule a call for tailored advice on how to establish a more holistic contribution methodology for your partner ecosystem.
