How Business Relationship Managers Help Unlock Your Company’s Value
In part two of this four-part series, we covered the basics of business relationship management and described how this framework acts as a capability, discipline and role to evolve culture, build partnerships, drive value and satisfy purpose. In this article, we’ll break down how the role of a business relationship manager applies the capability to identify and deliver value within your organization – and why doing so is important.
What is Business Relationship Management and How Can it Help Your Organization?
Many organizations don’t have a centralized approach to achieving business value, causing divisions in culture, workplace silos and waste. According to The Harvard Business Review, when specialists work together across the boundaries of their expertise, their firms earn higher margins, inspire greater client loyalty and gain a competitive edge. But how can you combat the constant threat of fragmentation through growth and disruption? Many businesses are turning to business relationship management (BRM), a core competency offering a holistic, people-centric solution. As an example of how you can successfully apply BRM as a capability to acknowledge and respond to business challenges, we’ll look at the Honda Manufacturing of Alabama (HMA) facility.
