Enterprise Engagement Series
A targeted program to activate a rich knowledge network and forge relationships between Kansas companies and established enterprises. This program aims to demystify the partnering process, to build customer pathways and accelerate innovation and startup growth.
Our curated group of Enterprise Partners will share how their teams think about engaging with vendors and collaborators at various stages, from understanding buying motivations to what's going on behind the scenes. They'll also share recommended best practices for engagement and the cohort members will leave with their own Enterprise Playbook.
