Business Relationship Management (BRM)
For age and memorial IT has struggled with partnering with its business customers and creating a successful relationship that has yielded business results. To bridge the gap, many organizations have established positions known as Business Relationship Managers (BRM) tasked with building bridges between business leaders and support organizations. The primary purpose of BRM is to better align business needs and IT activities thus increasing the effectiveness of the organization driven from IT delivery performance, as a result improving customer/constituent satisfaction and delivering initiatives that drive positive business outcomes.
Recognizing the increased use of BRM models within IT organizations, Harrisburg University has added a BRM Module to its IT Leaders Program. The IT Leaders Program meets 2 full days each month for 9 months. As part of IT Leaders approximately 18 hours of instruction will be exclusively dedicated to BRM principles and best practices. Those enrolled in the BRM Program will also attend the general IT Leaders Program. This is an excellent opportunity for BRM professional to better understand the challenges and opportunities of IT organizations and operations. It also is a forum for BRM and IT Professionals to discuss how they can improve communications and coordination. Additionally, the IT Leaders program teaches many skills that benefit BRM attendees including communications, relationship building, alignment of business needs and IT activities and many other pertinent topics.
