Introducing ALIGN: BRM Meets AI
AI is changing everything about how organizations work. It’s changing nothing about what makes a great BRM. AI cannot navigate relationships, bridge strategy and execution, or earn trust with anxious business partners. That’s still your job, and it’s more important than ever.
But without the right literacy, language, and confidence, BRMs end up on the sidelines of the most important conversations in their organizations. ALIGN changes that. ALIGN is about where the BRM role goes from here, and how you lead that evolution
Introducing REMI: The Only AI Coach Built on the Source of Truth for BRM
Ask a general-purpose AI tool about business relationship management and you’ll get a general answer. It may sound confident, and even be partly right. But where did it come from? All other AI tools draw on everything they have been trained on, blog posts, forum threads, public frameworks, even well-meaning guesswork. For the BRM discipline, where proven practices matter, “sounds about right” isn’t good enough. When you’re preparing for a conversation with a senior executive, working to demonstrate value to your business partners, or even studying for the BRMP®, you need guidance built on something solid. That’s why we built REMI. The only AI coach and agent that is built on the BRM Body of Knowledge (BRMBOK®), the foundation of the BRM discipline.

Here’s a look back at three days that redefined what BRM can do, and the big news about where we’re headed in 2027.
