When Yoda Was a Business Relationship Manager
I think we are attracted to Business Relationship Management (BRM) for its ability to change the universe. Or at least, our little part of it. The end game of any BRM is to partner strategically with business colleagues to bring about substantial and long lived value. But the universe is a big place and it is hard to mobilize this BRM force of good against the shadowy influence of Suboptimal IT Help (aka the SITH).

The Significance of Empathy in BRM
But when looking at top performers in this space, one trait stands out more than others: their ability to connect – and relate – to people as human beings.
High performers don’t see others by title, role, or office. They see them as people and engage them that way. That’s what most people do in their personal lives. But for some reason, they act differently in their professional lives and let stature influence the way they connect with others.
The best BRMs know that one of the ways to build meaningful relationships is to connect to others as human beings and not by job title. This means genuinely understanding the other person…their values, what motivates them, and how they see their world. It means seeing things from their perspective and feeling what they feel.

Organization Membership- The Heart of Community
Most people want to belong. When people have a sense of belonging within their organizations, it establishes the ability for organizations to reach top-level performance. It’s a win-win because belonging empowers people to create community—and by its very nature, belonging enables shared ownership in organizational values and connects people to their purpose.

BRM and Agile Working Together
Increasingly, BRMs encounter terminology related to Lean-Agile, and many often confuse business relationship management (BRM) strategies with Agile strategies. The two share enough similarities to cause confusion on which to use, if not both. While each methodology provides its own benefits, using both BRM and Agile together will bring the most success. It’s important to understand the benefits of using both, while properly defining them and explaining the differences.
Building Impactful Relationships: My Journey with Business Relationship Management
As I look to the future, I am excited to see where BRM will go. The landscape of business is continually evolving, and it’s essential that we stay ahead of the curve. At the BRM conference in Portland in 2023, I will be introducing some of the new approaches that I have developed with my colleague, Elka Schrijver, to advance a BRM capability in organizations. It’s an exciting opportunity to connect with others in the field, share ideas, and learn about the latest advancements in BRM.
