BRM Council Corner Update
Welcome to this edition of the BRM Council Corner! A lot has happened in the past month. Firstly, I want to acknowledge that the BRMConnect event in Charlotte was a great success! Not only did my BRM Council colleagues in attendance speak very highly of the event, but they really enjoyed meeting and interacting with […]
BRMConnect Charlotte: This Is Only the Beginning!
Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of being invited to attend and speak at BRMConnect in Charlotte, which was the first BRM Institute conference of 2016. As the Chief Examiner, I was able to communicate the status of the different certifications and get a first-hand glimpse at the demand for BRM Institute’s latest offering, […]
Experiential BRM: A Recap
‘An eye opening experience’ was how one attendee described it. At the first BRMConnect conference of 2016 in Charlotte, Instrumental BRM and GamingWorks conducted a three-hour Grab@Pizza business simulation session, which was a dynamic, highly interactive, and experiential learning workshop in which attendees explored the role of the BRM in solving realistic Business & IT–Alignment […]
BRMConnect Charlotte: A Bird’s Eye View
I recently had the honor and privilege of hosting the annual BRMConnect conference in Charlotte. Going into the conference, I have to admit that I was not only excited, but a little nervous to take the reins from Vaughan Merlyn, last year’s event host—I knew I had big shoes to fill. I have such admiration for […]
Off to a Fast Start in 2016 with BRMConnect Charlotte
The dates for BRMConnect Charlotte 2016 were circled on my calendar for months before the conference. To say I was excited to attend the conference would be an understatement—being surrounded by peers, hearing great ideas, and listening to interesting presentations taps into a part of my brain that is often underutilized during the rest of […]

Superheroes in Disguise: The Heroic Side of BRM

The Case for Business-Focused BRM Metrics
by Gerry Robinson Recently, while having a discussion with the Vice President of a large retailer’s enterprise applications, I asked him how he gauged the relationship with the business.

Slow and Steady BRMs Win the Race
by Gerry Robinson I once worked with a wise man who was responsible for the upkeep of a popular community center. The locals were very fond of this place and would visit frequently, having gotten used to its comfortable setting and appearance. In fact, they were so attached to the center as-is, they resisted all […]
