Our newsletter this month covers some key topics for BRMs and IT organizations:
The High-Performing BRM class continues to be popular, as organizations across industries and sectors extend their reach beyond BRMs alone. We see an increasing number of IT professionals — including Business Analysts, Project Managers, Architects, Product Owners, and IT Leaders — joining the ranks. It’s an exciting evolution that underscores the increasing recognition of BRM skills across diverse roles within IT organizations.
If you haven’t been able to attend a session yet, we have upcoming virtual classes scheduled in July, September, and December, and an in-person session scheduled in Birmingham, UK 18-20 June. We also deliver in-person classes for organizations and groups, such as BRM Communities. You can get all the details below.

The digital credential awarded to participants who complete the High-Performing BRM Class“I took 3 days out last week to attend a great Business Relationship Management (BRM) course from Barkley Consulting Group. One of the most useful courses I’ve experienced over the last few years. Jeff Warren is highly engaging and had the material tightly focused on what’s important to a business facing role. Thoroughly recommended if you’re trying to make a step change in a similar role.” “The workshop’s content, engaging exercises, and thought-provoking discussions left me with fresh insights. It also prompted me to reassess my existing approaches to make the biggest impact! Spending the week with Jeff and the group was a pleasure, and a testament to the value of continuous learning and growth as a BRM, Leader, and individual!” |
