Welcome to our Winter BRM Newsletter! We hope the new year is off to a great start for everyone. And for those facing struggles, remember the quote, “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” Find those opportunities!
Our newsletter this month has some resources that I hope you find helpful to further your program and your career, including:
The High-Performing BRM class remains a hot commodity, not only for experienced BRMs but beginners as well. We have delivered the class to more than 700 participants, and not just BRMs. We are seeing BRMs bring others in IT (business analysts, project managers, architects, etc.) to the class so they get the same training and come to appreciate the value and importance of BRM.
If you haven’t been able to attend a session yet, we have upcoming virtual classes in April, May, and July and will be holding an open in-person class in the UK in June. We also deliver in-person classes for organizations upon request. You can get all the details below.
If you have any questions or have topics you’d like to see us address, please send us a note at the email address below or just respond to this newsletter. Thanks!
Best,

The briefings are held free-of-charge virtually or in person and take about 1 hour (35-40 minutes for the presentation and about 20 minutes for Q&A).

Implementing a successful BRM program takes proper planning, support, and execution. You don’t build a successful program using the “Just Do It” approach. When done correctly, BRM can make an incredible impact on an organization. When organizations take shortcuts, it results in frustration and potential failure.

“This class was something I had been wanting to do since I first heard about the class. Wow! It did not disappoint. So much great content, engaging discussion and takeaways. I was surprised at the range of experience and skill level in our class, but saw the relevance and impact that it could have no matter where we were in our BRM journey.”
“This course has been an enlightening journey, significantly enriching my understanding and skills as a Business Relationship Manager (BRM). What stood out the most was the use of real-world examples and exercises that pulled together multiple BRM theories to life.”
