Industry 4.0 Increases the Need for Business Relationship Management
The Industry 4.0 (I4.0) digital revolution is transforming our world and industries. More than ever, CIO’s need to lead the way as businesses grow ever more technological. They need to think offensively about producing value and changes in growth and performance. Leaders that perceive IT as a necessary order-taking center (to be managed as cheaply as possible) make themselves and their organizations obsolete faster than ever.

On the Ground: BRM Operations at Purdue
Observing a BRM team actively building strategic relationships with faculties, and generating results was truly inspiring. During the open house, for instance, the BRMs were interacting with researchers, staff and the interim dean. I am sure new ideas were formed about how IT could even do more for the faculty. At the end of the day, I sat down with the team and recorded a podcast episode to be published in the next couple of months.

BRM Institute Visits Dallas For SIM Connect Live!
As a Strategic Alliance Partner, we were excited to host an exhibitor booth, to be introduced into SIM Chapters across the nation and to have the opportunity to present to their attendees. The chance to further drive awareness and adoption of BRM, as well as the ability to directly engage the C-suite about the value of the BRM profession in an engaging, innovative setting sparked many creative conversations.
Develop Trust To Build Value
Increasing internal communication is so crucial to increasing value for our partners and their continued trust. When things break down or fail (and they will), trust is damaged, and value is greatly diminished. When we work better together, customers feel safe making more demands because they recognize value and they know, even when something goes wrong, we will learn from it and put measures in place to prevent future occurrences.
