Business Relationship Management Professional (BRMP®)

Duration: 3 Days

Course Overview

Business Relationship Management Professional (BRMP®) training is a world-class professional development program designed to provide a solid foundation-level knowledge of Business Relationship Management. The BRMP® exam is designed to test an individual’s learning through rigorous examination providing a leading verifiable benchmark of BRM professional acumen and achievement.
 
Business Relationship Management (BRM) embodies a set of competencies (knowledge, skills, and behaviours) to foster an effective business value-producing relationship between a service provider and its business partners. These competencies can be leveraged through organizational roles (e.g., in an IT organization, the CIO typically has a role of BRM for the enterprise), a discipline (e.g., all business partner facing service provider roles should be skilled in Business Relationship Management), and an organizational capability (e.g., a service provider organization should be effective in shaping and channelling demand to the highest business value opportunities)
 
Meaningful relationships provide unlimited organizational vitality that rapidly increases
performance and growth. An organization can access this energy by cultivating a culture of positive work relationships that encourage creativity, in turn leading to continuous innovation.  Organizations that value building relationships over generating profit are referred to as relationship-centered organizations.
 
People no longer need to compromise personal purpose to earn a living. They can now find organizations with a shared, deeper, and more meaningful perception of value, that can be better, faster, more fun, and more fulfilling to work with.
  
Here are some reasons why strong relationships are so important:
• Organizations need purpose.
• The idea of value is evolving.
• Global digitalization requires agility.
• The boardroom imperative is shifting.
• Organizations are moving from alignment to convergence.
