Global Partnership Professionals Survey Results

100+ partnership professionals shared how they work, what they measure, and what's driving results in current times (2025/2026).

You'll find:

• How teams measure partnership impact (spoiler: most struggle with attribution)
• The biggest operational challenges and what top performers do differently
• Compensation ranges, team structures, and budget realities
• Which tools teams actually use vs. tools they wish they had
• Where experienced practitioners think the industry is headed

53 pages of benchmarking data, honest insights, and a few uncomfortable truths.

This is Version 1.0, imperfect, but useful. Your feedback will shape Version 2.0
