Research summary
This framework helps account-based leaders make two linked sourcing decisions: which technology to add and which external partners to hire. It sets out the factors that shape a tech stack, a five-stage implementation process that protects ROI, and a structured way to decide whether and where an agency or consultancy belongs, drawing on the ForgeX landscape of B2B agencies with ABM capabilities.
With this framework & playbook, you can:
- Decide which tools your program needs by testing each one against your account-based strategy and deployment models.
- Plan every technology purchase through implementation, enablement, adoption, and ongoing optimization.
- Evaluate agency and consultancy partners on the gaps they fill, their deployment model specialization, and their size.
