Option 1: Employ Interim BRM

Here is where one of our associates can act as your Interim Business Relationship Manager. This would aim to improve the level of partner relationship maturity in your organisation and to begin delivering the expected outcomes. Read more here: Interim

Option 2: Recruiting a BRM

When a suitable candidate is not already working for your organisation, we can help recruit a BRM externally. We know from experience that many recruitment agencies do not understand the role of a 'business relationship manager'. By understanding the competencies required, the personal attributes and the relationship skills that are essential for the BRM role, we aim to save your organisation time and money. Learn how we do this in Recruiting a BRM

Option 3: Training the Role

Where we train the Management Skills and coach the Influencing Skills. Skills that will be needed, either by an existing manager or an incoming candidate, to become an effective business relationship manager. Find out about our Training the Role campaign.
